Interior Design by Milan-Based Creative

The sophisticated interior of CODA is the brainchild of Milan-based multi-awarded publicity shy designer, whose visionary approach brings a touch of Italian elegance to the Singaporean cocktail scene. Her design seamlessly blends form and function, creating a space that is both aesthetically stunning and conducive to social interaction.

The minimalist yet warm ambiance perfectly complements CODA’s focus on the purity of the cocktail experience.

The Freestanding Monoblock Bar

The centrepiece of CODA is its breathtaking freestanding monoblock bar, custom-built and clad entirely in two distinct textures of bronze-coloured stainless steel. This striking design isn’t just for show - it transforms the traditional bar experience into something profoundly interactive. Guests are invited to stand behind the bar, gathering around its corners to engage directly with the bartenders.

This unique setup breaks down the barriers between patron and bartender, fostering a communal atmosphere where the art of cocktail creation becomes a shared journey.

Bar Accents by Thai Artist and Designer,
Shoson Thatawakorn

Adding an extra layer of artistic flair, the bar counter and select wall finishes are accentuated by materials crafted by Thai artist and designer Shoson Thatawakorn. His unique designs contribute to the overall aesthetic, infusing the space with a subtle yet impactful touch of Thai artistry that enhances the venue’s immersive
atmosphere.

The minimalist aesthetic extends throughout the venue, creating an ambiance that’s both sophisticated and inviting. The absence of visible branding allows guests to immerse themselves fully in the experience, focusing on the flavours, aromas, and the stories behind each concoction.
