FROG BKK

Concept & Design

A contemporary interpretation of Japanese cocktail culture set within an emerald pond-inspired space. Chrome lily pads refract light across dimly lit interiors, creating an underwater atmosphere that contrasts with the urban surroundings. The entrance is marked by a frog symbol, traditionally representing good fortune in Japanese culture.
