N·tender Bar is situated along the historic streets of Xi’an. The exterior design features expansive double-curved floor-to-ceiling glass, meticulously crafted by China’s top glass manufacturer over one month. These curved glass panels, modeled through software calculations, simulate the flowing curves of water, creating irregular and smooth surface radii.
The inspiration for the curved glass design stems from the brand story of N·tender, conveying the idea of “freedom and fluidity” in its cocktail products. This design expresses the brand’s innovative thinking and avant-garde approach to traditional cocktail products.
Inside N·tender Bar, seating and columns are fashioned from lotus-colored resin fiberglass material. Utilizing software modeling and manufacturing molds, the resin fiberglass manufacturer produces uniquely shaped fiberglass structures. The translucency of fiberglass, coupled with internal lighting, transforms the solid resin fiberglass into a blurred and fluid state, enhancing the experience of mild intoxication by movement, standing, and conversation within the space through concealed structural elements.
