Yi Whiskey

At Yi Whiskey bar, the narrative shifts from the openness of all-day dining to a more intimate and contemplative realm. As part of the immersive experience of Yanbai Villa, the bar is conceived as a refined retreat, an evening sanctuary where time slows and atmosphere deepens.

Furnishings are contemporary and never overpowering, upholstered in warm leather and fabrics. Decorative elements like starburst marquetry and handmade glazed tiles make subtle appearances but are approached with refinement and elegance. Dim intimate lighting evokes a sense of mystery and softness, in contrast with the bolder, geometric elements of the bar.

Yi Whiskey bar is a place of contrast and harmony: tactile yet tailored, dramatic yet composed. It is a setting designed not only for the appreciation of fine spirits, but for conversation, reflection and immersive connection within a distinctly contemporary Chinese narrative.

“To ensure an all-encompassing sensory experience, each space is carefully curated through a balanced play of visuals, lighting, proportion, color, and textural contrasts.” – Deepu Mahboobani, Managing Principal, Wimberly Interiors
