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.

Kitchen inspiration – how to choose the right modern counter stools

Pedro Nogueira — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 14:53:37 +0000

A lot of kitchens include islands which double as bars or breakfast tables. But deciding whether or not you want a kitchen island is not the only difficult task. Once you got the kitchen inspiration you’re looking for, to find the right kitchen modern counter stools is the next one.

Choose the right height

Chair, bar stool or counter height? To determine which stool you need, measure the height of your table or counter. Keep in mind you need 9″-13″ between the seat and the counter for seating comfort.

Chair stool heights are generally 18″ from floor to seat. Pair with a table or counter 28″-30″ in height;
Kitchen counter stool heights are generally 24″-26″ inches from floor to seat. Pair with a table or counter 36″-39″ in height;
Bar stools heights are generally 28″-30″ from floor to seat. Pair with a table or counter 40″-42″ in height.

Determine how many stools you can fit

It’s important to provide enough space between stools for people to eat, drink and socialize without bumping elbows. Here are the rules of thumb we use:

If the widest part of your stool is 16″-18″ allow 21″-22″ of space per stool.
If the widest part of your stool is 19″- 22″ allow 24″ to 25″ of space per stool.
If you choose stools that swivel and/or have arms, you’ll need to add a bit more space between stools.

Consider the style of stool

Do you want to make a design statement or do you want more discreet seating? Do you want to match or layer materials in your kitchen? And do the stools you really want work in the space you have? Your answers can help you determine the style of stool that will ultimately work in your kitchen.

If your stools are in a busy or narrow corridor or you don’t want a look that overwhelms your island, choose backless seating that can easily tuck away. But if you love to entertain and want something more lounge-worthy, choose a broad-backed stool with deep seating.

Whether the style of your kitchen is traditional, rustic or contemporary, you can find a stool that complements your look. There’s no need to be too matchy-matchy. If, for example, your dining room is adjacent to your kitchen, it’s not necessary to match the style of seating. And if you already have a lot of wood, try mixing it up with metal stools. Keep an open mind, and you’ll find just the right look for your kitchen.
