Lumen

Editorial Review

The club for people who hate people who go to clubs. Designer-clad door guys and leggy hostesses may seem intimidating, but their lack of snot is a positive shock. Inside, green’s the thing: lots of comfy low-lying couches, with cocktail tables made of bamboo doubling as fashion show catwalks. More relaxation awaits in the bottle service/VIP area, a wood-slatted bank of ultra-comfy low-slung beds. The literal highlight is a scintillating LED bank on the ceiling that continually shifts colors and patterns, setting off all that natural wood with some good old ‘80s style retro-futurism.
