Bars, Clubs & Lounges

Exclusive cocktail enjoyment in the bar, excessive partying in the club or relaxed chilling in the lounge: far away from everyday life, we dive in and out of other worlds. Each location has its own recipe for creating the unique atmosphere and special mood it wants to transport us to. It is also always consistent architectural and design visions with creative designs that contribute to this transfer. Nowhere else can a designed space have such a powerful impact. Whether high-end or low-budget, the key to staging a culture of living is the creative interplay of lighting and spatial designs, styling and furnishings. As different as the bars, clubs and lounges from all over the world presented in this volume may be, they are all united by a convincing conceptual approach and its consistent implementation.
