The O2 indigo lounge is equal parts exclusive club, private restaurant and intimate lounge. Segregated seating areas allow for quiet conversations for groups of different sizes. The minimal design combines subtle lighting effects and playful graphics with a rich materials palette to create an elegant, comfortable lounge retreat. Color-changing bubble chandeliers hang overhead and create a visual correspondence with the venue’s other branded environments.

Housed in a converted industrial space, The O2 Blueroom mixes ethereal translucent spheres suspended above a bar whose history has been embedded into its surfaces. Aged wood furniture populates the bar space, while a raw-metal infrastructure supports the spheres above.

The O2 Blueroom is a fun, active, exclusive environment where O2 customers can meet up before a show, relax in the floating transparent bubbles, dance to pre-show house DJs and enjoy specialty drinks without the typical queue found outside in the arena.

Remote is a digital entertainment lounge. Dozens of Cocktail Consoles allow visitors to explore the space, by controlling cameras that act as remote eyeballs. Live and time-shifted video, displayed on more than 100 monitors, plasma screens and projectors, vie for attention as they redefine the boundaries of perception within the lounge.

A techno-moderne cocoon, the visitor is enveloped within contoured banquettes, while interacting with multiple other patrons in the lounge through electronic telepresence. The environment is designed to encourage exploration and experimentation, and redefines traditional conventions of human interaction including exhibitionism, voyeurism and intimacy.
