In Oslo, the SUMMIT BAR was designed by the world-renowned architectural firm Søhetta. It isn’t large; just like in a cinema, you descend a flight of steps from above towards the screen.

In Tokyo, the French design star Gwenael Nicolas, who works in Japan, has designed a sushi bar for just 12 guests. Guests sit on bar stools with their backs to the street at a counter, facing a fiery yellow stone.
In Johannesburg, local designer Irene Kyracou has transformed a large office floor into a Cinemascope-style space with exceptionally intense lighting effects.
In Stockholm, Wingårdhs Architects have created a spatial symbiosis of Swedish and Japanese design concepts. Room dividers and seating areas are Japanese-inspired, whilst the cool, understated elegance of the furnishings and the spatial concept is Swedish. A fruitful symbiosis.
