CIR Lounge

CIR Lounge

The interior for CIR Lounge draws inspiration from the sacred symbol of the open circle found in Asian cultures around the world.   Representing strength, elegance and perfection, the circle is employed throughout the space in the use of arches, rounded surfaces and a layering of curvilinear detailing that together bring a sense of perpetual movement and mystery.    High-contrast, moody lighting with color-changing options is employed to heighten the sense of intrigue.  The focal point of the room is a dramatic circular bar, the upper face of which is wrapped in ribbed acrylic that is lit from above, emitting a welcoming glow. 

Overhead, acoustic baffles inspired by the raked sands of a Zen garden ripple in an undulating pattern across the jet black ceiling.   Rich hues of indigo blue and burgundy with details of brass and leather throughout enfold in a luxury that elevates and transports.   

Behind the bar, custom metal shelving is constructed to hold single bottles that are front-lit so as to emphasize the curated collection of spirits that form the foundation of the cocktail experience.
