This amazing modern bar design in Lima, Peru features a number of unique and totally unconventional elements that really make it stand out. Chilean architect Felipe Assadi’s design, El Tubo occupies one of Lima’s historical sites – an abandoned building, circa 1820. Here, old meets new in what is now an elegant, ultra modern space. The tube-shaped structure for which the bar is named features modern rounded corners, and has been drilled with holes to allow a gentle violet light to permeate the space. Inside, this long funky volume houses everything abstract – a simple, clean-lined, white bar complemented by minimal bar stools and chairs. Overhead, a collection of contemporary lighting fixtures is a sculptural, artistic addition, creating a stunning focal point. Underfoot, loose gravel makes an ultra-chic and unexpected natural statement.
