BAR
BOTANIQUE

MONKEY BARS

Extra storage was required to hold the venue's
drinking glasses, so the
designers let them hang
out within custom racks
that take advantage of the
venue's vertical space.
Light tubes within the
frameworks' rounded tops
illuminate the stemware.

Local interior design firm Studio Modijefsky flipped former longtime neighborhood restaurant and cafe De Ponteneur
into an organic oasis when creating
the interiors for Bar Bontanique Cafe
Tropique. Located in the city's East
borough, the 3,770-sq.-ft., all-day bar/
cafe hybrid, including the bar and lounge
area shown here, plays up a greenhouse effect with locally sourced plants
and a design that leverages the space's
large windows and abundant natural
light. "We were challenged to redesign
the space without touching the walls-
everything had to be installed on top
of them," explains the firm's creative
director, Esther Stam. Among other
things, that meant the designers had to
come up with some clever lighting solutions. In the end, Stam says her team
"managed to turn one of the project's
biggest challenges into the highlight of
our design." 

NATURAL INSTINCT

Botanical motifs blossom throughout
the bar's design. That includes a bar
front clad with ceramic tiles in a floral
pattern dubbed Dandelion; a warm
brown marble top; and the incorporation of organic-inspired shapes on the
bar's back wall. Vintage bar stools were
restored, painted and upholstered with
leather in tropical hues, while their
geometric lines pay tribute to the former
gymnasium. Light boxes and a center
lighted mirror behind the bar back's
racks and shelves emit a warm glow.
