The newly introduced F&B concept, Sakebar by Nobu, offers a unique menu consisting of sake-infused cocktails and Nobu-inspired dishes. The interior of the 55-seat venue was designed by a collaborative effort between Aleksandra Adamchyk Interiors based in Amsterdam and Jeske Design based in Poznan, Poland.

The designers aimed to create a space that unravels the complex and rich culture of Japan. The design is focused on the balance between nature and technology, inspired by the sake brewing process. The level of detail and quality of finishes in the interior design evoke the rituals of gesture, contemplation, mystery, the passage of time, and touch. The atmosphere of the venue is characterized by dense fog and high humidity, translated into ephemerality, blur, reflections, and chiaroscuro nuances.

The interior features austere structures floating above the bar, with each form born from the physical properties of the materials used to create the bar. The centerpiece of the space is the majestic bar counter, which can comfortably accommodate up to six guests. The bar counter is made of hand-chipped stone cladding, giving it a dirty snow effect, and is complemented by levitating glass bar shelves made from fused glass sheets and a bespoke metal support system with a moving caustic water-like light effect. The venue also features Japanese-inspired bar stools with frames made from solid wood and metal, rounded banquettes upholstered in aubergine and plum fabrics, and organic-shaped tables with stone quartz tops and bespoke metal bases.

All elements in the interior are original designs and custom-made with great care in cooperation with the finest master craftsmen. The fused glass bar shelves on the bespoke construction system recall levitating sheets of ice, the hand-chipped stone cladding of the bar gives the dirty snow effect, the sculptured organic shapes of the tables, the wood burning shou sugi ban technique in the waiter station units, the smoked roughly cut floor planks, the surfaces of hammered metal, and the oscillating art installation levitating above the bar all demonstrate the attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship evident throughout the space.

Sakebar by Nobu harmoniously intertwines Japanese tradition with the dynamic Warsaw social scene, providing a truly unique experience in the city.
