SubAstor

The bar below the Astor bar, SubAstor, in São Paulo, Brazil, has just undergone a renovation and gained a more cosmopolitan feel with the Superlimão project. The door, when closed, is camouflaged, giving visitors the feeling of being truly immersed in the world of cocktails. The bottles on the shelf have been replaced with small glass bottles that form a stylized map of São Paulo, which only the most observant can notice. It's impossible not to notice that these same bottles, reflected in two large parallel mirrors on the sides of the sofa, create an infinite and mesmerizing panel. Furthermore, the room now has lighter chairs, stools, and armchairs that increase the space between the furniture, allowing for better circulation, and communal tables that enhance interaction among visitors. The ceiling is made of crushed metal mesh panels that create an unusual volume that plays with light and shadow. The lighting design, in turn, now consists of several "Moscow Eye" lamps that illuminate the table area, allowing people to converse in the shadows. The SubAstor dining room now features a planter that allows for the control of humidity, lighting, and ventilation for different species of plants and herbs. Measuring 3.34 meters long, 68 cm high, and 50 cm deep, the "mini laboratory" houses seedlings brought from all over the country to be used in the restaurant's cocktails and dishes.
