Business & Marchés – Founder Interview

 

Kévin Ligot and Mixomania: a vision of the bar conceived as a universe
Spotted by Business & Marchés from the very launch of Mixomania, Kévin Ligot was already advocating a demanding interpretation of the profession: the bar is not reduced to a cocktail list, but conceived as a complete system combining concept design, training, sense of place, and hyper-personalization. The article connects his name with Paris, venue openings, and a cross-disciplinary consulting approach spanning gastronomy, guest experience, and creative direction.

​

Mixomania, décor, culture, and the temporality of the venue
Japan Magazine goes beyond simply recommending the address: the publication explains that the Mixomania collective, created in 2015, defined and refined the décor by blending Japanese brutalism, art, and design references.
