song music bar

la-la-la-la-la: designer and owner, zhong song, coincidentally named song music bar after himself, and although a hallmark in bar interiors, he pleads "i wouldn't call it interior design. it's more like installation art or, to be more precise, indoor landscape art". song is a graduate of fine arts in beijing, though practices mainly as an architect. the curves, fluidity, exclusivity, and appeal come by way of a relatively limited material choice: red oak and white leather, throughout. like supperclub, song bar mutates from lunchroom to restaurant to nightclub. song shares the company with nee bing, a predominate chinese music producer, which in every reason explains why this is a song to remember.

THE 21st CENTURY: for years, bed supper club has had me drooling about forward-thinking interiors. the space-age lounge is located in sukhumvit, a fashionable district of thailand. upon entering the large, all-white oval pod, divan-beds suspended from the ceiling, illuminated with soft blue neon light seemingly transports visitors into a retro-futuristic environment. the experience is a combination of upscale restaurant, club, art gallery, theatre and stage together. to tickle tastebuds, chefs change the meals once a week from authentic thai, to classic western. bed satisfies all musical appetites spinning house, funky, asian fusion, bhangra, and hip-hop with different theme nights monday-sunday. grab a supperclub cocktail and chill to the likes of dimitri from paris, miguel migs, oliver lang, or stephane pompougnac. the question this club asks is, "who will you go to bed with?"

BATHE EVERYTHING AWAY: especially throughout the chilly holiday season. the bath... a symbolic cleansing of body and soul, a means to starting a new day; washing away the stresses and strains of yesterday. the hoesch water lounge is a fascinating experiment to discover a completely new kind of wellness. traditional bathing bounds are destroyed as you lie in a transparent glass cube, that from all angles is equipped with a gentle air massage support for the utmost regeneration process. the water inflow is integrated in a 1400 mm high swiveling halogen lamp, while to the side, a swiveling round metallic table hints a book or glass of champagne. treat yourself to the delicacy of warm water, a sprinkle of epsom salts and a refreshed state of mind.

MATERIAL: STARON, METHOD: DRAPED: 29-year-old architect, dimitrios tsigos, quoted upon completion of framebar, that- "this is a truly contemporary triumph: space that is anything to everyone". in this, he meant, one may walk into framebar at the wrong time of day but not feel disappointed because it is empty. he adds to this by saying, "in fact, framebar doesn't look like anything particularly at all, so you get to decide what it is". therefore, one person unfolds a laptop and begins to work, while another has a coffee. yet, in the evening from the southern balconies, a sunset view of the acropolis is offered, accompanied by one of five resident dj's. in the interior, tsigos draped amorphous pieces of brown spanish emperador marble with ribbons of white-heat-formed staron (the white atop of the marble- seen in the photos). stunningly, the staron forms the stairs, sinks, bar tops, cafe tables, chairs, benches, stands, partitions, floors, and dj booths. the synthetic precision of staron's flawless surfaces allows colored light  to transform the space from a restaurant into a nightclub with the simple addition of, for instance, a violet light. this is a glamorous juxtaposition with the geological serendipity of spanish marble. framebar, a roomful of forms is a warm addition to tsigos design & construction.
