Studio Hermes is a club and restaurant featuring a variety of shows from cabaret to live bands. The design responds to acoustic requirements hence the look recalling a ’60 s audition hall.
Other design elements, while contemporary, follow the same mid century modern line. The onyx bar, velvet sofas, brass cymbals and walnut wainscot counterpoint the bare concrete and exposed piping.
Studio Hermes is located in Bucharest’s historical centre and takes its name from an old movie theater that was formerly located at the same address.
The challenge was to respond to a concept rarely seen before (restaurant + club + cabaret + live music venue), to integrate the new facade in the old elevation of the street while keeping obvious that it is a contemporary intervention, to create a contemporary but warm space.
