Hospitality Design - September 2009 - 186

Right, from top: The bar at Liquid Sky is fronted with concrete tiles imprinted with Persian rug designs; Liquid Sky’s interior lounge area features faux fur blankets, teak couches, and reclaimed oak floors. Opposite page: Perforated steel Aspen leaves backlit by LEDs line the backbar at one of Liquid Sky’s outdoor patios. party, and downstairs is a family party,” explains Karen Herold, vice president of design of 555 Design in Chicago, who handled the design. (In fact, she and her partner James Geier have worked on the majority of DeGraff ’s projects for the past eight years.) In Junk, the palette and materials are simple— custom butcher-block wood tabletops, oak floors, penny tile on the walls, furniture powder coated in cream. Instead, it’s the whimsical—but thoughtful—touches that make the space (and hark back to the name and concept). The custom bar is made up of more than 20 boxes filled with different types of junk: PEZ dispensers, crushed beer cans, bottle caps, mini liquor bottles, cowboys and Indians, Barbie Dolls. “Stuff you liked as a kid or as a big kid,” DeGraff says. And five chandeliers, each made with 750 pieces of silverware hang throughout the space. “We cleaned out three states in silverware—Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana,” explains Herold. “There are a lot of fun elements. We wanted it to be down to earth.” Guests know they have reached Liquid Sky by the 800-pound teak tiger sitting outside. “When we were in New York City [on a scouting trip], we saw it in a store,” Herold explains. “It has nothing to do with the project; Scott just said ‘he needs to go with us.’” Inside, the designers played on the idea of rustic in a more contemporary, non-typical Aspen way. Stacked quartzite tile and stainless steel shelves held together by rope make up the backbar; floors are done in aged oak; LEDs change color throughout the night; copper tile covers the ceiling; and the cement tiles fronting the leather topped bar are imprinted with Persian rug designs (found after a threemonth search from a picture DeGraff ripped out of a magazine eight years ago). “We used a lot of amazing materials,” DeGraff says, adding that building in the mountains had its challenges. “It has the Vegas level of design but it has been mountainized.” hd www.555.com; www.funworldwide.net 186 hospitalitydesign www.hdmag.com
