Paris Gets Silencio

If you have ever wanted to experience the surreal cinematic world of director David Lynch (who hasn’t), come September you’ll have your opportunity at Silencio, the new club he’s designing in Paris. The combined bar/restaurant/screening room/gallery/music venue is being installed on the lower level of the uber-hip Social Club in Monmartre.

Lynch is keeping a tight lid on the design plans for Silencio, but a few photos have been strategically leaked, including seating and speakers.

If you’re wondering, the name Silencio comes from the creepy nightclub in the film Mulholland Drive.

Lynch apparently has become nearly as popular as Jerry Lewis in France. The auteur was made an officer of the Légion d’Honneur and had a retrospective of his films at the Cinématique Français last year.
