Barbershop and restaurant concept Blind Barber has expanded to Chicago’s West Loop. Locally based interior design firm 555 International channeled the brand’s signature sense of leisure and camaraderie while crafting a unique, minimalist design all of its own.
A vintage, retro vibe is evoked through a clean, masculine palette of amber, blue, and white. The design departs from Blind Barber’s traditional 1920s-style lounge and embraces an aesthetic reminiscent of a playful, recreational basement room. Knotty pine walls complement burnt orange leather sofas in the bar area to establish a living room-like atmosphere, while glass block windows are installed throughout in homage to the architectural heritage of the Fulton Market. Vintage lighting and old world finishes round out the interiors.
