Time
A proposed backwards-moving clock, a recurring figure and a softly tolling bell turn the passing of time into a subject of reflection.
01 / The idea
Whispers of the soul.
Beyond SEEN, a hidden speakeasy opens into a world of dreams, reflection and imagination. The concept, Whispers of the Soul, explores what happens when familiar perceptions of time and space begin to loosen.
The intended feeling
Dreamy, yet energetic. A sense of discovery draws guests further in; theatrical details invite them to pause, look again and share what they have noticed.
02 / The design decisions
An idea given physical form.
Space
Suspended figures on swings suggest weightlessness and connection. The curved bar and seating arrangement give the imagined world a place to unfold.
Surrealism
Unconventional portraits, moon lamps and a monumental face with covered eyes bring the subconscious into the room.
03 / The guest experience
The moment of discovery.
The invitation is to enter a hidden place, notice something unexpected and make it part of the evening’s conversation. The story gives guests something to discover together.
Design concept and visualisations. The images present the proposed experience.
