Alien-Themed Architecture

Giger Bar

Artist Han Rudi Giger, better known as H.R. Giger, is recognized worldwide as one of the foremost artists of Fantastic Realism as well as his famous work on the pop culture film series, Alien. Now Giger has designed a bar in Gruyere, Switzerland based on the fiction themes he's gained notoriety for.

The bar is decorated with models of spinal chord-like skeletons and other creepy motifs which reminds one of the otherworldly environments in the Alien movies.

Giger designed the title character, the movie's mean killing machine monster, and won an Oscar for best special effects in 1980. As much as I liked the Alien movies, I would be hard pressed to eat at this joint and would especially stay away from the eggs!
