F1 Arcade Chicago | Folio Art

Folio Art

Interior Design: Anamo Design Studio
Lighting Design: Loop Lighting LLC

In the heart of River North, F1 Arcade brings a new way to experience the world of Formula 1 to Chicago, combining racing, hospitality, and entertainment in a deeply immersive setting. 

At the center of the project, behind the bar, light becomes an integral part of the architecture. A large illuminated surface created with Folio Art, featuring a printed marble-effect screen, defines the back bar with a dramatic, textural presence, introducing a sophisticated element into a space dominated by dark materials, reflections, and details inspired by the world of racing.
The backlit surface combines the visual appeal of marble with the flexibility of lighting technology, transforming the bar’s backdrop into an architectural element that enhances the bottles, materials, and spatial geometry.
A custom solution that interprets light as a material, blending seamlessly into the dynamic and contemporary aesthetic of F1 Arcade Chicago, where technology, design, and atmosphere come together to create an immersive and distinctive experience.
