Madam Wong is a bar interior located in Ipoh, Malaysia. The design recalls 1920s Shanghai architecture while adding a contemporary character.

Custom wall panels combine traditional motifs with laser cut metal sheets in a powder coated finish. Fan displays and terracotta warriors mark the entrance. Red brick, dark leather and metal accents form the material palette, and red brings warmth to the interior.
