At Kinky Bar, the guest enters a completely new space that contrasts with the restaurant: the colours are darker, the shapes are sharper, and the lighting is bright and accentuated.

The entire interior of the bar resembles a futuristic metal capsule with a single object in the middle - an open bar with seating around it. With a combination of brushed reflective stainless steel, bright lighting, and contrast with the ultramarine VIP zone, the boundaries of space in Kinky seem to blur.

Even though the two spaces - the restaurant and the bar - have completely different moods and functionality, they are linked by the same principles of form and architectural techniques. The interior of Kinky is a logical continuation of Kinkally: the soaring stainless steel stone above the bar is a reference to the stone ceilings in the restaurant, and the shape of the bar counter rhymes with the shape of the rough countertop in the open kitchen.
