Entry DescriptionA haven that transports to the ancestral lands of Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico; where light is not merely illumination, but the multisensory narrative experience that comes to life in every corner.
Light strokes evoke the essence of the cowgirl spirit, relying on the materiality of the visual language: a halo of low temperature, carefully calibrated to provide visual comfort, subtly perfumes the skin of the back bar and reveals the shine of the glassware, while the senses surrender to the softness and strength of the bar. From its base, a luminous caress discreetly travels along the guests’ legs, painting luminous brushstrokes on the vertical surfaces until meeting the floor
Amid a dance of light and shadow upon textured walls, wood rises as the protagonist, elevated by ultra-low warm Kelvin tones, the deep red curtains embrace the space, allowing indirect light to glide with intention along every thread.
Bekeb controls glare with precision: it is the epitome of meticulous and refined design, where dimmable sources construct versatile atmospheres, guiding the rhythm of the day until gracefully surrendering to darkness.
