The 4.2-meter floating bar is a particular presence and its construction imposed various sketches and challenges. The Modbar under-counter espresso equipment makes an instant design statement, while the LED lighting underneath the natural stone bar creates the illusion that it is floating.

The refined aesthetics, achieved through flawless details and custom furniture, is combined with all the comfort of a well-done restaurant. The interior mixes leather (that creates a cosy effect with its soft touch), walnut wood (for its expressive veining and warmth) and stylish matt brass, for its subtle retro vibes. The location has two sub-areas: the restaurant with floating bar and a takeaway area.
