In Singapore, the well-known Hassel Studio has transformed Atlas bar decor ideas in one the most sumptuous spaces around the world, taking inspiration both from Europe and America.

In fact, this prestigious bar decor ideas reminds us both of London’s Battersea Power Station and of the Art Deco of the most glamorous skyscrapers around the world. The perfect match of old and new makes the bar decor of the new lobby bar extremely elegant, a world-class inspiration. The whole space is furnished with custom-designed pieces, carefully thought to balance a contemporary style with decorative touches from the different historical period.

In fact, a combination of different armchairs and sofa has been placed near each and every one of the round tables in the bar. The Hassel Studio opted both for dark plain color leather armchairs and for armchairs with a tropical decor on the seatback as well as for green velvet armchairs and dark leather semi-circular sofa.

The bar decor of Atlas, also includes a gold counter bar, with dark four-legged modern counter stools.

The approach of the Hassel Studio for the refurbishment of Atlas bar was based on the idea of preserving the original design by James Adams Design, respecting the highly detailed and elaborate space while providing a more contemporary update.

To achieve this goal they worked closely with the property’s developer, trying to respect and fulfill his vision. The result is an elaborate space, with a mixture of brass, frescos, and geometrical decor, a place where visitors can immerse themselves in a world of glamour and romance.

On the top of the Panhellenic Beekman Tower, in Manhattan’s Midtown District there is one of New York best bars, the Ophelia Lounge, an authentic jewel.

The tower, designed in 1928 by the American Architec John Mead Howells, originally seved as an hotel ad lounge reserved to college graduated women belonging to national Greek-letter sororities. However, in 1930 the space has been opened to the publice and a new era began and the rooftop restaurant has became one of Frank Sinatra, Miles David and Frank Zappa’s favourite place.

Last February the Ophelia lounge opened its doors in this bulding full of history, showing to the world elgant interiors and an incredible panoramic view and combining a sense of intimacy, and confidently-crafted cocktails.

Entering the bar, while emerging from one of the three elevators, the first thing that capture your eyes is the pewter-cast bar, with its stool upholstered in deep red velvet from the italian textile company Alessandro Bini.

Additionally, as a reminder of the place’s past, you’ll find three paneled windows with an original 1920s iron framework, while the walls combine two shades of blue: a Bone China blue and a more modern royal shade.

Along the whole perimeter there are luxurios banquettes, matched to the deep red velvet of the counter stools, Lined to the banquettes we find white marble exagonal tables, while the whole floor is made of black and white tiles.

Being one of New York best bars, the Ophelia Lounge not only surpises you with its incredible interior design, but also with its 360-degree views on the city. In fact, a continuous bank of windows offer you a total rooftop view, both on the north and on the south side.
