The Elsa Liquor Cabinet is the theatrical centrepiece of Studio Akademos' Collection 01, a piece built for display as much as for storage. Named with all the old-world glamour its function demands, Elsa is a bar cabinet designed for a room that knows how to entertain.
The cabinet rests on two rectilinear grey metal pillar bases that create an open, floating composition. Its two-tiered wooden top is finished in a dark reddish-brown, marked by a thin red accent stripe that gives the form its character and prevents the geometry from reading as severe. A small gold handle detail on the right leg adds a quietly luxurious note to the overall frame.
Studio Akademos, the Paris AD 100 interior design studio founded in 2021, conceived Elsa around the Café Society tradition at its most theatrical: the bar is the social nucleus of any room worth gathering in. The open design of the cabinet treats the contents as part of the composition, something to be seen, not concealed.
A designer liquor cabinet from a Paris AD 100 studio, Elsa is bar furniture for an interior that understands storage as a form of scenography.

About
Studio Akademos
Studio Akademos is a Paris interior design and furniture studio, founded in 2021. Within three years of opening, it joined the AD 100 (Architectural Digest's annual list of the world's leading designers), a recognition that reflects both the quality of its residential interiors and the precision of its furniture editions.
The studio builds its aesthetic from three distinct historical sources: the opulent sociability of Café Society at its interwar peak, the avant-garde formal confidence of European design in the 1970s, and the functional precision that contemporary domestic life demands. The combination is not decorative nostalgia. Each source era is studied at depth before a project begins, and every decision, from proportion to material to surface finish, must be traceable back to that foundation. Material selection is part of the same rigour: each surface is chosen for what it contributes to the narrative the piece is meant to carry.
Furniture and interiors follow the same logic. Before a line is drawn, the studio poses two questions: what story does this piece or space tell, and how does it serve the client's aesthetic and daily reality? Both answers must be in place before work moves forward, and no element is introduced without justification.
Studio Akademos designs complete residential interiors and develops furniture series, available on Monde Singulier.
