The psychedelic decor at the Cristal Bar located in Hong Kong’s 'The Loop' is pretty trippy. The work of Katrin Olina, the seamless wall and floor painting utilizes 3M’s film and print technology to produce these other worldly decorative images.
The four connecting rooms, comprising 1200 square feet, are further embellished with a bar counter encrusted with 300,000 Swarovski crystals. As if the crystals would not glisten enough, their glittering is enhanced by an overhead ripple projector and beneath with ever-changed multi-colored LED lights to create waves while enjoying your cocktails. Let’s hope you don’t have one too many, as the psychedelic effects might just make you feel a bit more tipsy than you really are.
