The establishment hosts fans and revelers who can enjoy sports on more than 40 flat screens and a high-definition theater with the largest floor-to-ceiling TV in Pittsburgh. Named for the sweet spot in a baseball player’s swinging range, this venue finds the sweet spot in the midst of light, materials and media-influenced design. .................................. .................................. ................... the challenge The entire space needed to be designed around how the movement, sound and light of dozens of television screens are experienced. With the bar tucked at the end of the casino, something powerful needed to draw the patron to that space. And it all had to be done within budget and schedule restrictions. .................................. .................................. ................... “Chroma has the translucent quality that makes this very long bar appear to float in space,” said Floss Barber. “It’s not just some decorative piece – it’s actually structural – integrated into the form of the environment and carved like a sculpture.”
the solution 3form to the rescue. ellen levin sittig at Floss Barber, inc., chose to design the project around the majestically sculpted Chroma bar, because she knew exactly what she could expect from 3form products and support. With a bar of such proportions, no ordinary material would do. Considerations of weight, accessibility, and lighting were critical – and only 3form could rise to the occasion. A blue beacon of light from the 55-foot bar visually draws customers in, where a series of separate spaces play off each other, accented by the furnishings of rich, brown leather and soft, muted suede fabrics. .................................. .................................. ................... the results The result is an engaging design of illuminated Chroma – bright colors partnering with known elements like warm woods and geometric carpet patterns. says levin sittig, “it was key to create a custom-looking space using generally standard products. They may say they can, but no one else can do what 3form does. The material matters. And 3form is always evolving to solve new problems in partnership with the designer.”
