Pierre Cardin Bar Cart
May 2026 | Blender, Substance Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag 5
Details
This piece was originally made as one of the assets in my Listening Chamber environment, but I decided to revisit it to give it more detail and love.
As always, I was attracted to this piece because of it's space-age design and aesthetic. It was difficult to find video references of someone actually owning and using it (especially since it's vintage and extremely rare in modern age), so I'm fascinated by how someone would actually use this in their regular life. Specifically, the raising and lowering mechanic of the lid is such a cool design choice!
Modeled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter, rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 5, and some final editing touches in Photoshop. The acrylic/glass materials were created in Marmoset for easy transparency tweaking, but the color and other maps were done in Substance.
This current version is high-poly, a game-optimized version is what I hope to work on next.
