East Bowl
This bowl was created for the East Hotel in Hamburg, Germany, where Mozer and his team converted a decrepit old foundry into a destination boutique hotel, restaurant, and lounge. In addition to acting as design architects, Mozer’s team created architectural elements, lighting, sculptures, and furnishings for the hotel, many of which were cast in copper, bronze, aluminum, and resin or rendered in plaster to tell the story of the former foundry.
The East Bowl was a variation on a sculpture created for Canter's Restaurant in Las Vegas in 2002.

This piece is a 2004 variation of a sculpture created for Canter's Restaurant in Las Vegas in 2002. East Hotel, Hamburg, Germany
East Hotel is the reincarnation of the bombed out ruins of an old foundry in Hamburg, Germany as a boutique hotel featuring Asian-fusion menus.
DONUTS
The hotel’s center in an indoor/outdoor public space, a donut hole, created by sculpting brick and concrete out of the muscular foundry structure and excavating 24’ of earth from the yard separating the foundry ruins and the new guest room building…
Every detail of East’s architecture, art and design conveys the spirit of the old foundry and the surreality of a westerner’s first immersion in the east.
If architecture in frozen music (danke Göthe) thn ornament is the melody. It is the underlying concept which transforms structural rhythms, spatial and material harmonics and details into a meaningful personality which can create an emotional connection…the melody of architecture is its soul, the spirit of the place.
