Jozi Gin

DISTILLERY BAR  ·  JOHANNESBURG
THE BRIEF

A striking, colourful, art-deco-inspired space for the newest Jozi Gin. The feature bar had to carry the opulence of the deco era while staying true to the eclectic industrial character of the brand — two languages that do not naturally sit together.

Resolving that tension was the project. Get it wrong in either direction and you have a themed bar or a warehouse.

Light industrial touches in rusted steel, and a “fan/clock” feature at the centre of the main bar carrying accent lighting that rewards a second look. The detail is where the two languages finally agree.

THE RESULT

Art-deco meets warehouse elegance — vibrant colour working against a mix of classic and modern furniture, finishes and fabrics. A bar that reads as a destination rather than a room with drinks in it.
