As part of the theme "Old and New Elements in a New Whole," a concept was created for a smoke shop combined with a bar. The aim was to connect classic smoking culture – such as pipes, cigars, and hookahs – with contemporary trends represented by electronic cigarettes and vapes.
The resulting space reflects a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
The interior is functionally divided into two zones:
- a retail space on the upper floor, and
- a club-style bar on the ground floor
The bar interior draws inspiration from the atmosphere of smoke, expressed through a gradual color gradient and lighting fixtures that evoke smoldering tobacco. The shapes used throughout the design reference the movement of smoke but are simplified into clean, modern forms.
The retail area is designed with a minimalist approach, emphasizing clarity and product visibility. Display cases and the counter combine glass and wood, materials representing both the old and new forms of smoking culture. The central element is a wave-shaped counter reminiscent of drifting smoke, visually embodying the very essence of the entire concept.
