What’s the Vibe at Cinder?
Cinder features an accessible industrial interior with polished concrete floors, abundant stone and copper used in design and structural elements, smoky-greyish blue tones, comfortable bar stools, 30-foot black walnut bar, custom built bar stools, custom wood tables and lush banquettes. Custom light fixtures were personally designed by Sourias himself.
Interior design was by Teddy Sourias (owner) with Dimitri Armenakis, plus additional support from Masterminds Agency, the branding agency that helped conceptualize and name BRU and U-Bahn. Dimitri Armenakis from Lance Kramer & Associates, who designed U-Bahn, Cin Cin, Kitchen Bar and Nectar, was the architect for the project.
