This gentleman’s bar draws inspiration from the film “*Kingsman: The Secret Service“*, transforming a former café into a dramatic, immersive space. Retaining the building’s original high ceilings and expansive windows, the design centres around a striking focal wall: a custom seven-metre-tall fireplace crowned with a functioning clock. Each hour marker is represented by a bottle of whisky, blending time and spirits into a symbolic and theatrical display.
Materials such as KD Panels, MDF feature boards, metallic-effect coatings, and black mirrors add layers of texture and warmth. While the ground floor features the main bar and showcase installations, the upper level adopts a more restrained budget approach—PVC conduits from the building's industrial past are repainted to mimic antique brass, maintaining visual coherence throughout.
Furnishings are entirely bespoke and mobile, with classic Capitonné leather sofas and stone-top tables that cater to live performances, private events, and even weddings. Sound is engineered to remain immersive within, yet unobtrusive outside—highlighting the thoughtful attention to atmosphere and usability.
This is not just a bar—it is a curated experience where time, music, and design harmoniously converge.
