About the project
The Seventy Seventy based at the Park Hyatt Dubai is a previously under-utilized mezzanine area above the Traiteur restaurant. This space has benefited from a major design overhaul. It was recently reopened and boasts of a very comfortable and residential feel, with a heavy dose of the 1970s. Structural changes were made before the interior work began. A new slab enclosed the space that previously connected to the restaurant below, leaving only small windows to look down. This helped to give the space its own identity.
Seventy Seventy was a collaborative project between Meraki & Modus, who created the concept and strategy, and LW Design who was responsible for the interior design of the project; Aati Contracts executed the project’s fit-out requirements. Well before arriving at the smoked-glass entrance doors, visitors are given a glimpse of what to expect with some accessories and design elements spilling into the hotel corridor. Beyond the impressive door, there is a definite nod to 70’s music, fashion and style. Recessed shelving, with curved corners, displays a collection of old transistor radios, gramophone players and framed vinyl from the 70’s. The metal speaker with mesh-detail frames preserves some of the limited editions.
The timber wall cladding, discreet low-level lighting and warm glow gives the area an inviting and cosy feel. Danish design classics are dotted around on a traditional black slate brick floor, punctuated by wool and sisal rugs. A bar counter sits in the corner of the space, ready to serve drinks and small bites to guests. The menu has also been cleverly designed and presented in original 70’s album covers.
According to Pooja Shah-Mulani, Lead Senior Designer and Jesper Axel-Peterson, Senior Designer at LW Designs every effort has been made to stay true to the original design concept. This is reflected in the choice of furnishings and details such as the blown-glass lighting. These are typical of the seventies era and were intended to reinforce the retro-glamorous atmosphere to the bar.
Patrons are encouraged to move around freely, play records on the record player, gaze into the flames of the vapour fireplace, or perhaps, even enjoy a nightcap on the terrace with the stunning Creek views.
