The Vogue Lounge is one of Bangkok’s most exclusive establishments in the Silom-Sathorn area of the city. An elegant interior that evokes the atmosphere and style of 1960s Hollywood is coupled with a stunning exterior terrace that provides direct views of Bangkok’s newest destination: MahaNakhon Tower. Refined details and luxurious materiality throughout the interior instils a sense of opulence revealed by dramatic theatrical lighting.
Taking inspiration from a photographer’s studio, stylised performative framing projectors are carefully focussed on vintage photographs selected from the Vogue archive collection. Original works by Andy Warhol and other 20th-century artists adorn the walls of discrete lounge areas. Decorative modern pendants define an intimate space beneath concentric plaster shells, whilst the programmable lighting system transforms the space from a fresh day-time exclusive feel to a night-time cocktail lounge environment.

With wood elements creating a simple and clean design, SEAM has provided indirect lights hidden inside the ceiling and joinery that emphasise the warm material palette in the room. Uplighting along the mezzanine creates a bright and cozy atmosphere for the seating area at the upper floor.

Kouzu is the stunning new contemporary Japanese restaurant in Belgravia led by celebrity Chef Kyoichi Kai. Housed in a grand 19th-century Grade II-listed building, Kouzu is steps away from Buckingham Palace Garden. Set across three levels of exquisitely designed interior, designers Jasmine Gokmen, Margot Tsim and Kreado Design turned a corporate office and former bank into a flagship dining experience for London’s first Omakase restaurant recognised by Michelin Guides in 2016 as a premiere culinary destination.
The lighting design by SEAM fuses modern and historic elements into a sophisticated composition, complementing the cuisine with an intimately memorable atmosphere and experience – whether a guest in the bar lounge, the sushi bar and restaurant seating on the mezzanine, or the master chef’s table in the private dining room in the lower ground with the intimate backdrop of artisan chefs bustling in the main kitchen. Throughout the restaurant, illumination is designed to create a perfect stage for the Chef’s performance where guests can see and experience the artistry of beautifully crafted culinary masterpieces.
Future plans include exterior lighting for the Grade II-listed facade for which SEAM’s architectural designers and lighting designers attained planning approval on the client’s behalf.

BALMOND / STUDIO
The James Bond Room light sculpture is a bespoke architectural feature-ceiling installation by BALMOND / STUDIO for a hotel in St Tropez. The sculpture’s lighting design involves the simulation and interaction between light and the modules of dichroic panels, to create varying atmospheres, settings and sequences.
The project explores movement, and the resultant colour of light through a floating modulated ceiling, using the variables of angle, position, and proximity of the light source to the panel, with DMX controls for sequencing, dimming and input/output interactivity. SEAM has also designed the architectural lighting and controls for the room as a multi-purpose event space.
