L'Observatoire International has designed the lighting for Clemente Bar, transforming an intimate setting into a space where art and culinary craft converge.
Tucked within the iconic Eleven Madison Park, Clemente Bar is a hidden space shaped through a creative dialogue between Chef Daniel Humm and artist Francesco Clemente.
L'Observatoire International's lighting design transforms this intimate bar into an immersive experience, where art, architecture and gastronomy coalesce.
Subtle, layered illumination reveals the nuances of Clemente's expressive murals while enhancing the refined warmth of Allied Works' architecture.
This is a space where every surface is intentional – layers of light and material inviting guests into a setting of quiet opulence and timeless elegance.
This project has been longlisted in the architectural lighting design category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
