A hidden cocktail bar in Midtown for a well-known restaurateur client. Our brief was to create a cozy space that would be dark, sultry, and inviting to the happy hour crowd.

Taking cues from both the American Craft Movement and Mid-Century Modern design, we blended soft textures with bold pops of color and a mix of unique vintage and customdesigned furniture pieces.

Rendering vs Reality
Early concept renderings of the main dining area banquette. A snaking bench made the most of the challenging slanted grid and intrusive columns. This created pockets of privacy and made for intimate lunch meetings. Practical leather was kept for the seat while a tonal velvet made the back feel softer.
Dining-height swivel chairs are added for flexibility and are covered in a melange tweed to hide stains.
An alpha glass block wall inspired by Maison de Verre was value-engineered to a limewash painted wall with a curated art collection.
