OKEN — Cocktail Bar
Interior Design
Located in the basement of a 17th-century mansion, now known as TheMerode, in the heart of Brussels,
@oken.brussels embraces the weight and darkness of its historic setting.
A composition of columns, low walls, and monoliths structures the space, creating nooks and moments of intimacy. Light surfaces along the walls replace windows, casting a soft, warm glow around the perimeter.
The refined, open bar design showcases the cocktail-making process. The boundary between guest and bartender is intentionally blurred, encouraging direct and transparent interaction.
A space where architecture, light, and craft come together to shape a distinct atmosphere.
