Sakebar by Nobu | Nobu Hotel Warsaw

The project brief was to design a seductive, atmospheric hotspot for hotel guests and fashion-forward locals. We achieved this by focusing on a theatrical bar as the centerpiece, surrounded by a minimalist interior rich in hidden details.

The 55-seat venue evokes a sensual, fog-like ambiance with watery reflections and flashing lights, contrasting with floating, austere structures. Inspired by Japanese culture and the sake brewing process, the design balances nature and technology. Muted, curved surfaces and tonal color transitions create a soft backdrop for intricate furniture and finishes shaped by traditional craftsmanship.

Asymmetry, irregularity, and natural materials honor Japan’s aesthetic, inviting guests to rediscover the space with each visit.

Luxury Bar Design in Warsaw

Sakebar by Nobu is more than a destination for fine drinks — it is a study in contemporary luxury bar design. Created within the Nobu Hotel Warsaw, the interior blends Japanese restraint with European sophistication, setting a new benchmark for hospitality and F&B spaces in Poland.

The project reflects MODM’s expertise in hotel and F&B interior design, where atmosphere is crafted with precision. Sculptural lighting, a curved ceiling, and carefully selected natural materials transform the bar into a space that feels both intimate and theatrical — a hallmark of luxury hospitality interiors.

Luxury Interior Designers in Poland

As an international interior design studio based in Amsterdam with projects across Europe, MODM brings global vision to Warsaw’s luxury hospitality scene. Our work at Nobu affirms our reputation as a leading luxury interior designer in Poland, balancing creativity, operational insight, and cultural sensitivity.

The project was also shortlisted at the International Hotel & Property Awards, further recognition of its place among award-winning hotel interiors. For MODM, success comes not only from aesthetics but from designing bars and restaurants that perform seamlessly for operators while offering memorable experiences for guests.
