The Cigar Lounge on the second floor of the Mayfair private members’ club extends out onto a private terrace, as a Cuban-influenced den for guests to relax and enjoy food, drink and the finest cigars. Tobacco-hued woods, bold florals and tobacco leaf motifs feature throughout the space, bringing an air of exotic decadence to the club.
Custom-made cocooning armchairs face the display of cigars inside the bespoke humidor which was crafted by Cuban culture enthusiast and cigar connoisseur Massimo Busciolano.
Materials by Bianco Gioia and Verde Antigua pick up on the terrace’s foliage to unify the internal and external areas. Feature tables are topped with a tobacco leaf ‘finish’ alongside the quirky antique table lamps including frog and monkey lamps that sit upon plinths finished in straw marquetry.
Banquettes and armchairs boast views out to the terrace which is seasonally planted to create a permanent oasis in the city. The installation of a retractable glass ceiling alongside the roaring fireplace, allows guests to use this outdoor area all year round.
