The beer kegs are stored behind the bar in a dedicated cold room which allowed clearance in the bar.4 pipes from this cold room are running in the main area to distribute exclusive fresh draft beer on 4 tables in the middle of the main room where the guest can pour its own beer.This feature has been emphasizing in the design by highlighting the pipe course.

In the design nearly everything is costume made. The VIP and bar walls are made with perforated rusted metal sheet with back light illumination. The chairs are designed to provide rotation and comfort.The tables are smartly covered by homogenous ceramic tiles to facilitate the cleaning and the maintenance. Women toilet has been particularly cared to provide a make-up area and socialise sofa for chat and selfie.

The ceiling is composed with “clouds” (metal mesh) and “veil” (suspended fabric) both shot by RGB lighting to create various atmospheres. Lighting and ceiling ambiance has been particularly designed to ensure the mood can be adapted, following the progress of the night and the party.
