SCOPE
In the heart of downtown Phoenix, is a cocktail bar that effortlessly merges sophistication with impact through its meticulous design. Divided into two distinct spaces, the layout offers a captivating journey for its patrons. Inspired by the dichotomy presented in the writings of the esteemed German philosopher Nietzsche, Quartz's design narrative draws from the contrasting personas of two Roman deities, Apollo and Dionysus. Apollo symbolizes harmony, clarity, and logic, reflected in the refined elegance of the front bar. Conversely, Dionysus embodies chaos, emotion, and ecstasy, epitomized by the vibrant modernity of the back booths. The front bar beckons with an aura of mystery and allure. Dark hues dominate the ambiance, complemented by intricately carved black rock enveloping the bar. This space, accessible to all, invites spontaneous visits from passersby, drawing them into its enigmatic embrace.
Stepping into the back bar is akin to entering a realm of sensory indulgence. Here, a conceptual marvel unfolds as patrons traverse a corridor adorned with chrome and rose gold mirrors, evoking the essence of precious gems. Secluded booths await, inviting intimate gatherings amidst a backdrop of opulence.In essence, Quartz harmonizes the interplay between order and chaos, offering patrons an immersive experience where beauty meets spontaneity, elegance intertwines with playfulness, and tradition dances with innovation. Order is our front of house. Beautiful, elegant, and moody. Chaos is our back booths. Bright, playful, and modern. Together, they give you Quartz.
