Wink Wink reimagines the nightclub experience as a surrealist journey for the 21st century.

Our design was inspired by the interplay of conscious and unconscious mind; the hedonistic gatherings of Salvador Dali; fabled clubs like Studio 54; and the experimental edge of underground rave. The entrance is a portal to another world, the club itself an arrangement of four distinct experiences. Hanging steel mesh creates intimacy on the Dancefloor. The curved copper Champagne Bar hints at steampunk’s future past. In the Cocktail Bar, 600 brass clips evoke a starry night. Plush pink fabrics soften the Lounge.
