Pure Wuhan: A Cocktail Bar with a Twist

Interior Design Inspired by Urban Nightlife, Crafted by Hung Yi-An and Hung I-Chun

In the heart of Wuhan, China, a cocktail bar named Pure Wuhan stands as a testament to the city's vibrant nightlife. This unique establishment, designed by Hung Yi-An and Hung I-Chun, captures the essence of Wuhan's evening cityscape through its innovative interior design.

The inspiration behind Pure Wuhan's design is rooted in the city's urban lifestyle. The designers sought to encapsulate the city's night scenery and the diverse activities of its inhabitants. The interior design is a blend of various furniture selections and decorative elements, all framed within a simple bronze structure. This design approach allows customers of different backgrounds to share their stories in an environment that mirrors the city's diverse night scenery.

What sets Pure Wuhan apart from other bars is its ability to adapt to different occasions. The interior design can reflect the atmosphere of various events, becoming more exciting and vibrant for celebratory occasions. The warm and comfortable environment, enhanced by subtle decorative elements like lighting and wall treatments, creates interactive focal points that make Pure Wuhan a great place to relax and enjoy company.

The realization of Pure Wuhan's design involved the use of a bronze frame, metal finished surfaces, and an automatic controlled LED lighting system. The project, a renovation of a 150 square meters old cocktail bar, is located in an old mixed-use complex within a historical tranquil shopping street in Wuhan, China.

The design process was not without its challenges. The designers had to find ways to incorporate decorative elements that would enhance the commercial bar environment. They also had to design a space that would capture the essence of city life within a simple steel framework. Despite these challenges, the designers were able to create a unique space that captures the essence of Wuhan's urban lifestyle.

Pure Wuhan's design was completed in October 2017. The project was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2018, a testament to its outstanding design and innovation. The award is given to designs that demonstrate remarkable expertise, creativity, and technical excellence, and that evoke positive feelings and amazement.

In conclusion, Pure Wuhan is more than just a cocktail bar. It's a space that encapsulates the essence of Wuhan's urban lifestyle, providing a unique and engaging environment for its patrons. Through innovative design and attention to detail, Hung Yi-An and Hung I-Chun have created a space that is not only functional but also a testament to the city's vibrant nightlife.
