Positive notions of transgressions in Vitra's 'Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960-Today'

One of the major European clubs of the 1990s, Les Bains Douches in Paris was designed by none other than Philippe Starck. Photographed here by Foc Kan, Les Bains is one of dozens of innovative, outrageous, transgressive and progressive international nightclubs documented and analyzed in Vitra's highly anticipated new release, "Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960-Today." Sociologist Silvia Rief is quoted, "clubbing… assumes positive notions of transgressions into liminal states, in which 'other' modes of being, activity and living can be explored."
