These two destinations are located at the base of a new residential tower and commissioned by chef Daniel Costa of the [Corso 32 Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookiecoloring-kit). Residents who live in the tower are able to enter through a private internal access point while the public uses street-facing entrances. Olia features custom Portuguese walnut tables, ecru leather benches, polished creamy marble, high-gloss tawny lacquered cabinetry, and a backlit fluted glass bar. Inside, oversized pendant lights shift from daylight filtered through sheer drapery to a soft buttery yellow ambient glow as evening approaches. Mimi, which is designed for later hours, incorporates deep browns, glossy reds, amber tones, [Rosso Rubino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosso) marble, chrome detailing, burnt orange velvet sofas reminiscent of 1960s sunken lounges, monolithic burled walnut panels, and a repetition of large capsule pendants producing a consistent low glow.
