Velvet, Smoke, and Light
A Room Designed for Intimacy
Smoked Glass and Dark Timber
Smoked glass partitions and dark timber paneling create a sense of privacy without closing off the room. Glass panels subtly separate lounge areas, while timber adds a natural, grounding element chosen for its tactile quality.
Dramatic Pendant Lighting
Low-hanging brass pendants cast a warm, focused glow over each table, highlighting the cards and the faces of players. Dimmable for different moods, the brass fixtures echo the antique brass accents and create a cinematic, intimate atmosphere.

The Poker Table
A Table for Face-to-Face Play
Our custom-built poker tables are designed for comfort and focus, with felt surfaces in forest green and brass detailing. Each table seats up to eight players, with integrated brass cup holders and chip trays. The felt color echoes the forest green accent, and the physical presence of the table anchors the room—this is poker as a social, tactile experience, never virtual.
