奥克兰的Mr. Important设计显然对如何设计出一个摇滚夜总会略知一二,而他们最新的作品没有让我们失望,为我们留下一个加利福尼亚超酷地点的线索。钱伯斯餐饮是在旧金山凤凰酒店重新装修的酒吧,一个之前50年代的汽车旅馆,作为独立艺术家和摇滚歌手之家而著名;据称Pearl Jam,Red Hot Chili Peppers,基努里维斯和Little Richard都非常喜欢这家坐落在城市中声名狼藉的犯罪区的显然并不奢侈的旅馆。
奥克兰的Mr. Important设计显然对如何设计出一个摇滚夜总会略知一二,而他们最新的作品没有让我们失望,为我们留下一个加利福尼亚超酷地点的线索。钱伯斯餐饮是在旧金山凤凰酒店重新装修的酒吧,一个之前50年代的汽车旅馆,作为独立艺术家和摇滚歌手之家而著名;据称Pearl Jam,Red Hot Chili Peppers,基努里维斯和Little Richard都非常喜欢这家坐落在城市中声名狼藉的犯罪区的显然并不奢侈的旅馆。
Leaving a trail of super-cool venues across California and beyond, Oakland’s Mr. Important Design clearly know a thing or two about what puts the hip into a hip-nightspot; and their latest oeuvre does not disappoint. Chambers Eat and Drink is the newly re-imagined bar at San Francisco’s Phoenix Hotel, a former ’50’s motel known for its reputation as a crashpad for indie and rock royalty; the likes of Pearl Jam, the Chili Peppers, Keanu Reeves and Little Richard are all said to favour this decidedly non-luxe hotel that’s located in the city’s infamously gritty Tenderloin district.
Mr. Important设计的新旅馆酒吧尽管花了很多钱,但与奢侈并不挨边,不过——有大概10000张唱片装饰墙壁,就好像某种非主流的摇滚乐图书馆——对这样辉煌的音乐史,并不只是简单地了解。还有一个重做的院子和水池,带有一种极富感染力的怀旧风韵。你可以很容易地想象出你在一位旅馆之前的宾客位于好莱坞山上的家中,站在这颓废的水池边战栗。
There’s nothing non-luxe however about Mr. Important’s lavish new hotel bar, but – with some 10,000 albums furnishing the walls, as if some kind of alternative rock’n’roll library – there’s more than a heady nod to its illustrious musical history. There’s a reworked courtyard pool area too, with an appealingly retro glamour to it. You could easily imagine you’re chilling beside the decadent poolside at one of the hotel’s former guest’s homes in the Hollywood Hills.
在室内,有着简单但时髦的伙食,与不矫饰但很酷的环境搭配;结实的汉堡,脆猪肚和被经典鸡尾酒和当地的啤酒冲洗的酒吧柜台。这一次在他们令人印象深刻的作品集中又加上另一个非常成功的时尚地点,Mr. Important某种程度上回答了那些60年代热门的生产者的类似设计,他们无疑装饰了旧金山最新最热门的地方的墙。
Inside there’s simple but stylish fare to match the unpretentious but effortlessly cool surroundings; chunky burgers, crispy pork belly and indulgent bar bites can be washed down with classic cocktails and local beers. Adding yet another resounding success to their impressive portfolio ofa la mode hangouts, Mr. Important are kind of like design’s answer to one of those 1960s hit factories, whose records no doubt adorn the walls of San Francisco’s hottest new venue.
