Artwork includes vintage photographs (above and opposite)
of Follies showgirls from the
1920s, newly embroidered
with beads. Large 14-foot-tall
windows (right) were installed
to allow for views to and from
the street into the lively lounge
and bar. A mix of carefully
curated seating can be reconfigured as needed.
Key Design Highlights
The Carousel Bar was restored
and updated with mirrors and
lights, leather seats, and a
distressed pewter bar top.
The centerpiece of the interior is
the theatrical Carousel Bar, and
surrounding interiors are meant
to accent rather than compete
with the bar’s drama.
Vintage photographs of Follies
showgirls were embroidered with
beads and add a 1920s Jazz Age
appeal to the interior.
Patterns such as chevrons,
stripes, and diamonds were
employed as large graphic statements throughout the interior.
