Tirso Lighting was commissioned to undertake a comprehensive redesign of the “Smoke and Mirrors” hookah lounge, a venue known for its vibrant nightlife but antiquated decor. Our challenge was to transform a dated space with a Middle Eastern aesthetic into a modern, inviting lounge that enhances the customer experience through strategic design and innovative lighting solutions.
3D Renderings
The integration of 3D rendering into the redesign process of Smoke and Mirrors Hookah Lounge exemplifies our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional results. By providing clients with immersive visualizations, we enhance communication, streamline decision-making, and ultimately bring their vision to life with precision and creativity.
Behind the Scenes
A systematic approach was followed to transform the outdated space into a modern lounge and bar. This involved a thorough assessment of the existing layout, augmented by the utilization of 3D scanning technology for precise measurements and spatial planning. Key steps included gutting the interior, installing contemporary design elements, integrating advanced audio-visual systems, and maintaining open communication among the design team, contractors, and clients. Through careful planning and execution, Smoke and Mirrors emerged as a vibrant destination, delivering a seamless and memorable nightlife experience.

Solutions
Innovative LED Screens: We installed large LED panels that are framed to resemble artwork. These screens provide dynamic and changeable visual displays, effectively replacing traditional static artwork.
Color Coordination: The frames of the LED screens were painted gold, harmonizing with the existing gold ceiling panels to ensure a unified and aesthetically pleasing look throughout the lounge.
Efficient Project Execution: A significant aspect of this project was our ability to carry out these upgrades without interrupting the lounge’s normal operations. We managed to complete the installation process while keeping VYBZ Astoria open for its regular clientele. This approach demonstrates our commitment to delivering sophisticated solutions with minimal disruption to the business.
The Outcome
The project was a resounding success, with Griffith praising the enhancement as a perfect blend of modern technology and the lounge’s original design. The opening night featured a captivating introductory show, with dynamic LED displays like realistic robot dancers and thematic underwater graphics, setting a new standard for lounge experiences.
