The bar’s design is inspired by the elegant gesture of cigar smoke. Curved metal bars and bronzed ceilings evoke a sense of ceremony and openness. The lower level’s white space offers endless possibilities. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls bring in natural scenery while blocking out urban noise, creating a serene atmosphere. The bar’s smooth lines define serving and social areas, while mirrored wine racks and micro-cement walls add depth. Soft amber lighting and colorful wine bottles create a cozy, jazzy ambiance.
The VIP area balances transparency and privacy, with delicate wood finishes and textured walls. The bronze color scheme adds sophistication, and light and shadow effects create a timeless experience. Drawing from 1920s speakeasies, the space blends tradition and modernity, offering an immersive, evocative experience. Here, visitors can escape the outside world and enjoy a moment of pure relaxation, surrounded by the rich narrative of the space.
