apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's eye-popping alright...but not in a good way.

I think Sophie is spectacular!

That is freaky!

I love the carpets and red lacquered panels in the VIP lounge
- but that's about it.

Eye-searing, or eye-blinding. Eye-popping is an understatement.

Weird a not good weird

horrible

Love the idea of Sophie. Her size alone is already such a statement. I think they could have toned it down with the color. Did they think that no one would notice her otherwise?

Poor Sophie.

This sort of reminds me of the scene in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, where Alice eats the wrong part of the mushroom or teacake or whatever and skyrockets through the house. Not sure how I feel about in real life, but it certainly makes a statement!

I love it! If it were a house no but as a restaurant/club/lounge - Yes!

My first reaction: what is that thing in the middle, just floating there!? The angle of the photograph (and the sheer color of it) makes it look like it was superimposed via bad CGI. I mean, really. I can't even say if I do or don't like it, because my eye still can't even register it as actually in the picture. I keep thinking I should be hearing a voiceover announcing, "Stay tuned for When Photoshop Attacks, after these messages from our sponsors!"

I love the colors in the first shot. And that is all.

woah, I think that is crazy awesome.

amazing!!! i would love the bust only of that sculpture in a smaller scale.... i think it's superb...

i love it. what an attraction and conversation piece!

What an amazing project! The use of the Sophie sculpture is totally unexpected, but incredibly cool. Great post.

It's an exciting space but it seems a bit "no rest for the weary." Funny scary.
