Operation Flow
The journey of exploration begins as guests descend the entry staircase into the basement, where they are enveloped in the theme of Earth. This is represented by staggered layers of timber boards, creating an ambiance reminiscent of an underground cave. A lighting tunnel guides visitors to three private rooms. First smallest one is for the Metal room which features a stainless-steel triangulated umbrella centrepiece, dominating the intimate space. A China map coffee table adds an intriguing touch. Second room is a narrow linear room, representing the Wood theme, is adorned with layers of tree trunk patterns, evoking the sensation of singing amidst a forest and creating an illusion of room depth. The final and largest VIP room seamlessly blends the themes of Water and Fire, offering both tranquil serenity and the fiery passion of flames. Finally, guests conclude their journey in the sanctuary room, with a mysterious cold-blue hue evoking the underwater world. Throughout the experience, guests are immersed in environments that authentically capture the essence of each elemental theme. Overall, the karaoke club interior design serves as a testament to the timeless wisdom of Wu Xing, offering guests an opportunity to experience the beauty and harmony of the five elements in a modern and vibrant setting.
