Peels Records & Bar is a unique establishment located at Jl. Juanda 113, Bandung, which combines a listening space, record store, and bar. Known for its bold and electrifying interior colors, Peels is dedicated to creating a distinctive “listening bar” experience. Their mission is to provide a third place where music, design, and program integrate seamlessly, resulting in a unique business pillar. Additionally, they aim to introduce cocktail culture to society, using narrative and educative methods to leave a lasting positive impression on their customers. Despite its limited space, Peels has become a popular destination for customers and enthusiasts.

The UP ALL NIGHT motto inspired the design concept for this project, which can be summarized in three keywords: Energetic, Alluring, and Convenient. The concept takes customers on a journey through a spatial scenario that creates a sci-fi-worthy atmosphere, allowing them to feel like the main character in a movie. The design also responds to the existing heritage building while maintaining the vibrant colors and intimate ambiance that define Peels Records & Bar.

Peels Pocket Bar types

With a total existing space of 410 sqm, the layout and blocking is designed to create a sequence as an embodiment of the spatial narrative. First the customers would be welcomed with (1) Peels Records, a yellow-infused retail that’s brimming with vinyl records. Next they’ll enter a narrow corridor that will bring them either to the (2) Peels Audiophile or (3) Peels Bar. Inside the all-tangerine space, they’ll have a different choice of exit gates, or they could continue their journey to (6) Peels Pocket Bar where saké drinks are served in the electrifying blue atmosphere. Other than providing an experience, this whole sequence shall evoke a psychological core memories to the users, so they’ll finally be able to familiarize themselves with the brand.

This Alleyway provides interconnecting circulation between 3 areas; Peels Records, Peels Audiophile, and Bar.

The color blocking is implemented in each area to evoke specific moods. Therefore, I wanted to keep the material coherent with the lighting. Since most of the area will be dimmed down, the alluring concept is used in the color narrative, where users will be welcomed with all whites and then navigate to the colored part of the space. The rest of the material will respond to the existing building’s asset with different finishing on texture such as stucco wall, plaster ceiling, duco paint, and homogenous vinyl floorings.

Pock.Et is a 2 in 1 movable mini bar and trolley designed to complement my previous project, Peels Records and Bar. While it was originally dedicated to that project, it can also be applied to non-commercial needs. The design of Pock.Et was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic which has greatly altered human lifestyles and activities. The pandemic has brought about an increased awareness of health concerns and limitations on social interactions, leading to a shift towards more closed, private and intimate activities in people’s homes. The nightlife culture has also been affected, with pubs, bars, and clubs becoming deserted while house party trends are on the rise. Pock.Et is designed to facilitate these changes.

Pock.Et consists of two masses, a pocket bar for making cocktails and a trolley for carrying and moving drinks or other items. The two masses are connected with stainless steel hooks and U-bolts, allowing the furniture to be easily assembled and disassembled. A modular system with universal connectors is used in making the trolley, so that users can easily assemble it if they need to move or transport it to a different location.

Here’s fun things you can do with Pock.Et (other than making cocktails!)

...and since it’s consists of two components, you can play race too! just be careful...

Pock.Et’s mainly used to complement your hosting

...at the end of the day, you could always bring a stool and spend time with your loved ones!

01 Raised Bar

The raise bar uses a folding hinge mechanism to lift the toptable, and separate between consumers and bartender.

02 Horizontal Structures

Horizontal structures help to break the bulky look of the furniture. These structures are exposed and contrasting the mass, acting as aesthetic features and also functional. It can be utilized to hook other required bar equipment.

03 Locking System

Pock.et uses aluminum U-Bolt and stainless steel hooks as its main system. This system is distributed evenly on both sides, to ensure the steadiness and as an aesthetical element.

04 Joinery

Pock.et’s trolley is weirdly modular. User’s can assemble the trolley efficiently using the U-Bolt steel and Universal Connectors. This joinery system holds tubular steel as a main structure and spreads the force to the whole mass.

Pock.Et’s designed for commercial use, so it needs to be adaptable towards various brand identity. It is achieved through its modular design, and customizeable components that can applies to different finishings.
