The architecture of an ethno-futuristic empire sculpted into a cutting edge bar/restaurant concept. Something in the design triggers memories of unknown origin - a primordial pattern recognition - between spaceship and shrine. A meeting ground where narrative, metal and meaning collide with magnetic force.
Spectacle moves, gravity makes you stay.
Bangkok’s nightlife doesn’t lack spectacle; it lacks gravity. Within a landscape of perpetual motion, a new mass began to pull: a narrative architecture at planetary scale, envisioned by Ashley Sutton, where the task was not to brand a space but to calibrate a force field.
Inside this 400 m² industrial starcruiser - where pistons churn, metal breathes and every surface speaks in encrypted cues - energy condensed into identity. The custom typography became a geometric instrument: horizontals stretched like wings, crossbars sliced like circuitry, its contours echoing the glowing, angular lattice behind it. What emerged was a monolithic totem charged with magnetic tension; a primordial code forged from alien logic and machinic precision craft. The brand became what the architecture already was: an interstellar shrine, activated through type - a gravitational field you step into.
