Burly Bar

Burly Bar by Studio Plenty is as much a brand statement as a venue for imbibing artisanal spirits. Situated within the Currumbin industrial estate, it is the public face of the local distiller Burly Gin and draws upon the bougie boutique vibe of the brand’s product designs for its aesthetic blueprint. With opaque bottles of saturated colour, Burly’s graphic identity is translated into an immersive interior across two distinct spaces: a ground-floor bar and a mezzanine lounge. Within these, the diverse textural layers of polished plaster, painted trusses, fabrics and finishes are imbued with shades of red, brown and amber, strategically integrated so as to read as a cohesive whole. What stands out here is the fine manipulation of light to enhance the palette and create a seductive interplay of opacity and translucency. It demonstrates a deep understanding of the versatility of colour.
