The wave-shaped chandelier in the main lounge, along with metal ripple panels, reflects the calm and flowing nature of water. Its soft, warm, moonlight-like glow creates a poetic and serene ambiance in the room.
The round dining table carries on the water theme with its fluid and non-hierarchical form, infusing the space with a sense of liveliness and flexibility. This creates a dining area where practicality and artistry blend together seamlessly, fostering an intimate yet dynamic atmosphere.
In the bar area, the combination of crystal and metal materials represents a harmonious cultural blend, where different textures come together to create a lively and dynamic space. The extensive use of soft warm lighting enhances this energy, casting a gentle glow that resembles the shimmer of water under a soft breeze.
