Bar Style charts the glamorous design renaissance of hotel bars and members' clubs, and the way their cutting edge interiors have helped forge a new social culture that is a far cry from traditional bars and pubs. Until recently dominated by sexless corporate design and traditional stuffiness, it is hotel and members' bars that have responded to a backlash against the homogeneity of the high street with interiors of great beauty, style, and wit. As this book reveals, hotel bars and members' clubs are now the playground for the innovative designers, sophisticated celebrities, and ultra cool urbanites.
Beautifully designed, this title presents 40 different projects, including bars by some of the worlds leading architects and designers:
