Description
From Milan to Hong Kong: Area-17 has brought a classic of Italian lifestyle to the vibrant SoHo neighborhood in the busy Central district. The idea behind Bella Lee bar comes from the Italian aperitivo ritual and aims to create a space suitable for each moment around the clock. A playful mix of references that recall the traditional aesthetics of the café, bar, and club designs reinforces this idea.
Soft lighting and precious materials like marble, leather, brass, and antique mirrors contrast with the rough exposed brick walls and the traditional utilitarian floor tiling, resulting in a cozy, laid-back environment. Despite the limited space, a flexible layout encourages taking a drink on foot at the bar and an easygoing social life. In this manner, Bella Lee fully embraces the spirit of this peculiar and inclusive area of Hong Kong, which thrives upon the values of both western and eastern cultures.
