Agora Cocktail Bar Designed by 4SPACE Design 4th December 2023 | IN HOSPITALITY DESIGN | BY SBID

Agora, a unique cocktail bar and social club situated in the Edition Hotel in downtown Dubai, is quietly making its mark by offering a serene blend of sophistication and comfort. Designed by 4SPACE, a respected architecture and interior design firm, Agora takes inspiration from the ancient Greek concept of a gathering place and marketplace.

Agora represents a noteworthy transformation, drawing influence from the charm of the Gatsby era and the timeless allure of ancient Greece. The primary aim was to create an atmosphere of depth, luxury, and tranquillity, resulting in a venue that is truly exceptional while remaining warmly inviting.

Agora’s concept seamlessly integrates two sources of inspiration: the extravagant world of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” and the classical elegance of ancient Greek architecture. It offers a haven where guests can momentarily escape their daily lives and immerse themselves in a world of sophistication and opulence, promising a sensory experience with a difference.

Each detail of Agora’s interior design has been carefully considered to ensure both aesthetics and comfort. The space features bespoke furniture, meticulously crafted to provide the utmost comfort for our guests.

Agora’s colour palette is thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of luxury and timelessness. It includes forest green fabrics for a touch of mystery and richness, subtle copper accents to add warmth and elegance, and Indian green marble tabletops that infuse the space with classical beauty and timeless grandeur.

Agora’s ceiling is adorned with captivating wallpaper cladding, adding a contemporary and artistic touch to the space. The existing floor, embellished with a striking black marble mosaic, exudes timeless elegance, perfectly complementing the dark colour palette and preserving a sense of luxury.

Agora’s standout feature is the stunning bead curtain hanging from the ceiling. These carefully arranged and suspended beads serve as a dynamic visual centrepiece, adding an element of intrigue and movement to the space and encouraging patrons to engage with the design on a sensory level.

Bespoke pendant lights throughout the space create a warm and inviting ambiance, ideal for relaxation and socialisation.

Agora is defined by its exceptional use of custom-made furniture, including cylindrical chairs and elegant bar chairs. These pieces elevate the ambiance, enhancing sophistication and luxury without ostentation.

In the outdoor area, Agora introduces delicate curtain beads to infuse playfulness and intrigue. Suspended pampas grass arrangements from the open-air ceiling add texture, softness, and a soothing ambiance to the outdoor space.
