he Almost Famous Craft

Beer Bar has a fresh take

on bar interiors. Rather

than the flashy lights and

colourful decor of traditional

watering holes, this place at

Chijmes sports a subdued

palette. A monochromatic

scheme with flush luminous

lighting and classical-style

columns, to be exact.

“We wanted a blank slate

• a state of emptiness – that
  removes distraction and steers
  the senses towards the food
  and craft beer pairings,” says
  the Almost Famous team.
  To do this, they reimagined
  modern bar culture by
  stripping away unnecessary
  chaos. They combined
  geometric shapes through
  their choice of furniture with
  clean and slim profiles, and
  created a palette made up of
  raw-look finishes seen on the
  weathered-wood tables and
  the concrete-look walls.
