Up close at Tolson. The subtlety of finer points: a hand-planed chamfered edge catches the light.
Straight ahead to the bar.
The front bar design features custom-molded bent laminated motifs.
Custom bookcases across from the bar create a truly unique atmosphere.
The bookcases are stocked with spy novels.
A hidden rope light illuminates the motifs.
The back bar cabinetry precisely accommodates everything needed to make this bar run. Wire management is incorporated.
Custom shelves, trimmed in gold, hold glassware and spy gear.
Altogether, an efficient and elegant layout ….
… with just the right space for the bartender.

Custom-molded bent-laminated motifs on the bar.
Custom bookcases, crafted with mortise and tenon joinery.
On the other side of the bookcases, there is a conference room for private meetings.
In keeping with the theme of intrigue at Tolson, there is a secret mechanism for opening the bookcases. For those in the know, the bookcases swing open to join the bar with the conference room.
