Barlume

by Cristell Studio

Shortlisted: Restaurant - Global Award

The International Hotel & Property Awards 2025

Barlume, an evocative blend of coastal elegance and New York vitality, is a testament to Cristell Studio’s masterful design. Drawing inspiration from the Amalfi Coast, French Riviera, and Costa Brava, Cristell Studio has crafted a space where Mediterranean warmth meets urban sophistication. Nestled in a historic Flatiron landmark, Barlume’s rounded granite corner at 20th and Broadway invites guests into an immersive experience of refined hospitality.

The design pays homage to New York’s first modern eating establishments, celebrating cultural fluidity with Italian, Swiss, and French influences. Upon entry, a striking 20-seat bar commands attention, its Arabescato Vagli marble counter stretching the venue’s length. The bar’s timeless appeal is enhanced by statuary travertine footrests, green-enamel volcanic rock tiles, and illuminated brass tiers showcasing curated bottles. An open kitchen, framed by blush subway tiles, seamlessly integrates with the bar, fostering an inviting, dynamic atmosphere.

The dining area exudes sensuality through 1940s-inspired Verde Alpi marble floors, velvety banquettes, and a distinctive mix of marble tabletops, including Breccia Pernice and Purple Calacatta. Overhead, chandeliers with glowing blown-glass globes float beneath lofty ceilings, adding a touch of ethereal elegance.

Descending to Barlume Downstairs, Cristell Studio contrasts turn-of-the-century brick footings and vintage utility conduits with lush bouclé poufs, velvet sofas, and patterned textiles. An amber glow from onyx pendants highlights the cherry wood bar, complemented by deep green leather banquettes and rich walnut wainscoting, creating a sultry, hidden retreat that embodies New York’s timeless allure.
