'Bar and Club Design' contains an introductory essay placing the development of bars and clubs in socio-historic context. Featuring venues around the world, this is a showcase of some of the most exciting interior design being done today.
"Following the highly successful Bar and Club Design (2002), New Bar and Club Design examines current international trends, showcasing 47 bars and clubs completed since 2001." "The 1990s restaurant boom led to an increase in both the volume and diversity of restaurants, and this in turn heralded an increasingly sophisticated bar market. There has been a resurgence of cocktail culture and an explosion of the 'style bar' - professionally designed venues that serve high-quality drinks. As this book demonstrates, such bars continue to open in cities from New York to Moscow, Beirut to Kuala Lumpur. There is also a trend in lower-budget designer bars that are as visually interesting as the big budget productions, such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Opal in London." "Likewise, club culture continues to thrive. Many nightclubs are cosier than the 'superclubs' so popular during the late 1980s and '90s, and recent years have seen the emergence of the 'boutique club' - small, exclusive nightclubs where the focus has returned to the music, the sound system and the dancing. Other alternatives include late-night lounge bars with DJs that cater to the 'grown-up clubber', offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. Some 'superclubs' are still being built and these offer the very best in technology and audiovisual entertainment, usually laid out over several different areas. This book explores the design Zeitgeist of bar and club culture worldwide." "Following a brief introduction tracing the latest international trends, four themed chapters on bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars and clubs showcase the most interesting and unusual venues from around the world. New Bar and Club Design is a must for anyone with an interest in interior design, bar or club culture."--BOOK JACKET.
The architecture of leisure tends to be one of the best exponents of the creative capacity of the designer. The functional and aesthetic limitations are almost always less strict than in other areas. This work presents twenty interior spaces designed by renowned architects and designers.
Club + Bar Design presents a wide spectrum of club and bar designs ranging from casual to high end entertaining spaces. It features 63 projects from 44 international design firms in 18 countries (41 cities). Each project has been beautifully photographed and includes a detailed plan alongside the designer’s introduction. It can be used as a reference by designers and club or bar owners.
"Dramatic changes have occurred in the bar industry as a result of the current social climate in which the mass-consumption of alcohol is, at the very least, passe. To keep clientele, restaurateurs and bar owners are spending more to create a sense of place and a memorable experience with entertainment, lighting, sound, and most importantly, design." "Design Spirits chronicles many unique bars and nightclubs which offer customers more - more experience, more choices, more entertainment - for their money. The entire gamut of nightlife options is represented. In addition to Carolines Comedy Club, The Big Life, Spago, and Planet Hollywood, there's a Kansas City sports grill, a mall lounge and bar, and a Moscow nightclub. Informative text, floorplans, and exquisite design details accompany the projects, and quotes from today's cutting-edge designers interspersed throughout the pages add further interest." "Design Spirits: Bars, Brewpubs and Techno Clubs also features an entire chapter devoted exclusively to specialty bars, including sushi bars, coffee cafes and tapas bars. An invaluable resource tool for designers, architects and drink connoisseurs, Design Spirits features over 350 views of the hip hang-out spots."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In this lavish full-color volume featuring 225 photographs, Taavo Somer, the creative mind behind Freemans, the iconic New York City restaurant, barber, menswear shop, and bespoke tailor, reveals the creative process behind the development and design of the "rustic-luxe" and holistic approach of this cultural phenomenon and pioneering brand. Nestled in a secluded alleyway off Rivington Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Freemans Restaurant is an oasis of calm, beauty, and exquisite food in a crowded, chaotic city. Founded by Somer—one of the defining figures in the New York social and design culture for more than a decade—this one-of-a-kind eatery with rustic décor has redefined New York dining since its opening in 2004. A dozen years later, Somer’s vision has extended to other eateries and bars such as his restaurant, ISA, in Williamsburg, which references 1970s California, and the Rusty Knot, a nautical-themed dive bar in the West Village, as well as a men’s clothing line and bespoke tailoring services, a barbershop model that has been emulated the world over, and an organic approach to interior design that speaks to the soul. Somer was the first to establish the now popular "lumberjack chic" style; the interior of his bars and restaurants—with furnishings handcrafted by the designer in his unique, signature style—harken back to the beauty and simplicity of more rustic times. Now, in his first book, Somer opens the doors to the Freemans world. With an elegant, sumptuous design and dozens of color photographs shot specifically for the book, Freemans showcases the interiors of his numerous Freemans ventures, other restaurant spaces he’s conceived and owns, as well as the classic, superbly tailored American-made men’s clothing, bespoke suits, barbershop, and food and drink that comprise Somer’s iconic—and now much-copied—style. Somer reveals the inspiration behind Freemans—including the restaurant down the alley, acclaimed menswear store Freemans Sporting Club, and the pioneering Freemans Sporting Club Barbershop—sharing the story of his evolution as an architect, designer, and tastemaker, from his rural Pennsylvania childhood to his architectural apprenticeship in Minneapolis to his arrival in New York, where at first he designed t-shirts and threw parties in a Financial District strip club. Freemans also takes fans into the nineteenth-century farmhouse in upstate New York he renovated and landscaped, inside his restaurant ISA, and bar the Rusty Knot, and across the world to the Freemans Sporting Club store in Tokyo, the remarkable four-story townhouse he designed, which has rarely been seen by an American audience. A comprehensive exploration of Somer’s singular vision, Freemans will appeal to the many devotees of the Freemans world, as well as lovers of fine living through its exploration of design, dining, architecture, gardens, and men’s fashion.
