The Ritz Pool Bar

The Ritz Pool Bar in Lisbon is an integral part of the project to renovate the terrace and galleries of the Ritz Four Seasons Hotel Lisbon. It's a project developed under the premise of respecting the existing architectural design of the building, as well as its significant historical, heritage, and architectural value.

The round Pool Bar was designed to be an integrated element in the urban resort concept developed for the terrace. With its organic design and total openness to the terrace, the bar invites you to enjoy a drink or a light meal.

The terracotta tiles in shades of green and brown, designed by Openbook and produced by Viúva Lamego, blend in with the green of the surrounding garden.

NOBK products

This project also included exclusive pieces of furniture designed by NOBK - a brand belonging to Openbook Studio - namely the bar tables, which were designed to coexist harmoniously with the existing architecture, enhancing the sophisticated but relaxed atmosphere. This approach was complemented by the selection and design of the other pieces of furniture and a colour scheme that highlights and unifies the concept.

This project also inspired the creation of Bugio, a solid bronze candle holder recently launched by NOBK.
