That didn’t just mean installing a security system or hiring a bartender with an eagle eye. The most delicate piece—the Hilario collage—is placed behind the bar, where guests can’t physically reach it. For the other works, which are positioned where the traffic patterns are heaviest, the materials were designed to withstand inquisitive guests. Photographs are covered in inchthick plexiglass. Heavy-duty wood and metal frameworks keep the works securely attached to the walls. Lighting posed another problem. The low lighting level that’s an integral part of the club look and ambience is counterproductive for a venue that’s trying to draw attention to the walls. Counteracting that meant finding illumination that could show off the art but not wash out the entire space. “The solution was to use light as a very contained line that accentuates the shapes of columns, floor levels, bars and art pieces,” says Parolio. For example, all of the LED lighting is focused in a 1.1-in.-wide ratio, so the light contamination is very controlled. RGB and white LED backlighting options on the photographs give the club owners the ability to cycle color washes over the walls without having to raise the ambient light levels. “Once you have the concept and a story to tell, everything falls into place,” says Parolio. “For Club Musée we wanted to play with powerful contrasts that make guests think, talk and experience the art and music. We didn’t want anyone to walk away feeling bored.” HS
