SCOPE

 

Nestled along a vibrant stretch of Central Avenue, Central Records emerges as a beacon of design ingenuity. Within its walls, a harmonious fusion of a wine bar, record store, and coffee shop unfold, each element seamlessly integrated to create a multifaceted experience.

 

At the entrance, a sleek plywood banquette extends a welcoming embrace, its gentle incline guiding visitors into the heart of the retail and hospitality space. Transitioning further inside, the eye is drawn to the centrally positioned bar, serving as both a focal point and a functional hub. Behind a transparent glass partition, the DJ booth is nestled, strategically positioned to overlook the space, injecting a dynamic energy into the atmosphere.

Carefully curated materials converge to evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication. Plywood accents, a striking black ceiling, and rich dark quartz surfaces form a backdrop that accentuates rather than competes with the diverse offerings of records, magazines, and wines. In this design ethos, the spotlight is firmly placed on the eclectic array of goods and experiences, inviting patrons to immerse themselves fully in the ambiance of Central Records.
