DESIGN DIARY

The Esquire Bar Design | Shelley Starr for Don Julio 70 

"I felt honored when they approached me with the request for a special Don Julio 70 bar. After learning more about the Don Julio company and their tequila making process, I knew that this bar had to be nothing short of smooth, sophisticated, and one of a kind. With the bar, I let the wood take charge of my design. I created a patchwork of stacked shearing slats that include open pore, distressed wood, paired with gold ceruse, and a granite like texture to give it depth. To give it more drama (as if it needs more), we hung our floor-to-ceiling Bloom Chandelier, made of Swarovski crystal, next to the bar to echo the translucence of the Don Julio 70 bottle. I am thrilled with the way it turned out, and excited to be a part of Don Julio's release of their new ultra premium tequila debuting this fall. "
