Equal by Tklab
Equal is a bar and hybrid retail interior in Taipei. The space of about 1,743 square feet combines a shop, a bar, an event area and a pickup kiosk. A main entrance serves the pickup kiosk, and a side entrance serves the bar. Light is the main feature, and its color, brightness and reflection are set for wine tasting and can be changed with an intelligent light controller. A curved wall gathers wine racks, a draft sake dispensing system, freezers and storage. The warm palette and the cave-like entrance create a relaxed atmosphere.
