About Luxe Lounge
Luxe is a lounge bar located in Shinjuku Kabukicho, Japan. The interior is designed as a calm space, separated from the busy entertainment district outside. The walls of the main floor carry objects that combine steel frameworks with indirect lighting. The lower floor is lined with artworks and neon lights. Partitions with colorful flowers divide the seating and add color to the space. Beaten metal plates are used for tables and for the ceiling of the VIP room. Black mirrors line the aisles and some walls. The lighting is kept low so guests are not disturbed.

- Production Technology
- The walls of the main floor are decorated with objects combining steel frameworks with indirect lighting to create an icon of the overall space. The subfloor is a complete change, expressing lewdness with a continuous arrangement of paintings combining neon lights with artwork. The partitions that hide the line of sight are decorated with colorful flowers, setting up color in an otherwise inorganic space.The VIP room has a beaten metal plate to reflect the shimmering light.
- Design Challenge
- In designing this space based on the concept of "serenity," a lighting and design plan was created to maintain an appropriate level of illumination so that multiple guests would not be distracted by each other. Within the low-lit space, materials were divided into zones to maximize the effect of each, and the design was intended to be inspirational in its effect. In the end, the lighting plan to achieve these conditions was the most difficult, but we were able to achieve a wonderful balance in the end.
- Project Duration
- October 16, 2023 to November 20, 2023 Project period.
Located in Shinjuku, Japan. - Inspiration
- Since the Lounge BAR is located in the center of Shinjuku Kabukicho, the largest entertainment district in Japan, we aimed to create a quiet space isolated from the hustle and bustle of the crowded area to provide relaxation for people who are tired on a daily basis.
By contrasting the hustle and bustle of the outside with the quietness, we aimed to create a space as a high-end lounge, and started the design from how to express the contrast between "hustle and bustle" and "quietness" in the materials. - Image Credits
