Be* is located on the ground flour of one of the emblematic neoclassical buildings of the city, the Excelsior Hotel.

The space has a unique angular arrangement, which served as a starting point to showcase the establishment as a large window that the city can look into. So, booths were placed along the windows that created corners and colored lights were hung in rows over the tables.

The walls were decorated with items like a large blackboard and a map of the city, the extent of the two elements operate inside the space bringing everything together in harmony.

The bar acts as the main focal point creating a divide and splitting the space into two directions. The furniture and fixtures were designed and manufactured by USP. Geometric shapes and colours were used, for the wooden paneling on the bar, for the lighting fixtures and the rest of the furniture. A metal fixture was designed and placed above the bar to create space to store glasses and to serve as an extra divider in the space.
