[Studio Modijefsky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peridot-bar) is a Dutch interior design and architecture studio and the creators of a tropical bar in Amsterdam that features a vibrant plant-filled look.

The company is said to have been behind the "entire visual identity for Bar Botanique Cafe Tropique," covering the location in jungle-like accessories and painting walls and ceilings in a bright green paint. A select few orange accent walls contrast well with the green color scheme, adding to the tropical bar's ambiance by diversifying its pallet in a complementary way.

Bar Botanique Cafe Tropique is given a more open feel as its space is maximized with Studio Modijefsky's clever design. A long bar offers substantial seating in the tropical bar and a [lounge area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-and-lounge) gives its patrons a comfortable place to enjoy a drink in the immersive environment.
