Boutique Design - December 2015 - 61
FINALIST
RAZZMATAZZ COCKTAIL BAR & LOUNGE
Baku, Azerbaijan
DESIGNER
Blue Sky Hospitality, London
THE BRIEF Transform an under-utilized storage space at the JW Marriott Hotel Absheron into
a fantasy-like immersion experience. Reference local elements such as Persian and Azeri rugs,
which were traditionally used to tell stories via patterns, colors and symbols. "Here you do not
fly on top of a magic carpet, you fly inside it," says Blue Sky Hospitality creative director/principal interior designer Henry Chebaane.
THE INSIDE SCOOP The designers developed a graphic artwork based on an imaginary flower (a
cross between a Persian rose and Azeri pomegranate). This pattern was used in the woolen carpet, as
well as for the 3D upholstered panels that pop out on the main wall and ceiling. RGB lighting strips
concealed around each petal further magnify the magical vibe and allow for ever-changing moods.
But the designers also took operational concerns into consideration. A compact bar equipped with a
small kitchen facilitates instant food prep; movable furniture elements expedite the cleaning process;
and a raised area and balanced seating arrangements reduce ordering and service time.
THE TAKEAWAY Take a bespoke approach to balance fashion and function. The designers'
pop-art style stamp creates an entirely one-of-a-kind look from top to bottom. But practicality
isn't sacrificed: clever solutions minimize operational costs and maximize efficiency.
