Central Lounge/Sushi Bar from archinect.com
Today's ArchiPic is the Central Lounge and Sushi Bar in Astoria, New York. It consists of a sushi bar/lounge area (obviously.) Its main purpose was to incorporate the same experience you get from a luxury sushi bar while mixing it into a lounge area. Two bars, rectangular and circular, are the rooms' centerpieces, while the lounge chairs are around them. Expensive, LED lights provide a blue-ish glow around the two bars, creating a supper club feel. The tops of the counters are made from slabs of back-lit onyx. (It's a variety of chalcedony which is a crystalline form of silica.)
