FLO: Lounge, Bar, Private Dining
YEAR
2011
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Sanjiv Malhan of Office For International Architecture
(OFIA), whose work has created nightspots such as Three Stories, has
outdone himself this time.
FLO is a concept whose time has come. A sophisticated Lounge, Bar,
Club and Private Dining which caters to the eclectic tastes of the urban
traveller is another design first for the capital. In the heart of
South Delhi's party district - Saket, FLO is bound to resonate with
today's Indian whose travel arm (real or virtual) has touched the
world's hot spots.
Circles, lines and hearts create subtle patterns that flow in and out
on specially designed glass-clad walls. The palette is controlled and
restrained to muted blacks and whites but sophisticated accents of neon
and metal provide relief and bestow a welcoming warmth.
Experimentation with materials and playful execution gives jaded eyes
a sense of newness and intrigue; neon like lit up walls feature
kaleidoscopic light imagery that harmonise the interior aided by a
'white on white' wall graphic that pulls all elements together into a
pleasing whole. Textures and geometric shapes are used to create a 3D
effect; unusual materials lie cheek to jowl, juxtaposed with contrasting
surface textures while furniture shapes echo a certain whimsy and
eclectic. Pyramids on the ceiling and placed inside tables as displays,
are just some of the amusing touches that create an aura of play - of
reflections, of light and shadows.
Designed and executed by Office for International Architecture (OFIA)
the international architectural practice founded and run by
Australia-trained architect Sanjiv Malhan, technology forms the soul of
the FLO experience: From mood-controlled lighting, customised sound
offerings and a peekaboo bed lounge experience that is hidden from all
eyes through a clever use of levels, FLO is a technological child of the
future. Maybe, some day all Lounges and Clubs will have the foresight
to offer such camouflaged luxury. Today, however, FLO clearly stands
apart as a forerunner of times to come.
The design aesthetics of FLO are reminiscent of retro yet not
entirely; touches of contemporary baroque abound lending a touch of
humour and childlike enjoyment. A subtle play of form and shapes, echoed
in the partnership between light and shadow, are used to create an
atmosphere inspiring enough for Delhi's cognoscenti to let down their
hair. Delineated spaces offer privacy and intimacy to enjoy this finely
crafted experience with friends and within the select circle that we
choose to de-mask and reveal ourselves to.
FLO is a welcome relief from the plethora of poorly finished, ugly
and clumsy spaces that masquerade as avant garde lounges at par with
internationally trendy, hang-loose watering holes.
