How can you bring a human touch to a corporate icon?

The Langham Hospitality Group asked Rockwell Group to create a signature restaurant in one of Chicago's great icons. Travelle is located on the second floor of the IBM Building, a 1972 landmark designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

The design is immersed in imagery from the late 1960s, a time when icons of corporate culture were being built all over the country, and the computer age was born.

Warm materials bring glamour to the enduring Miesian minimalism.

The restaurant is broken up by a pair of bronze screens, which form a moving wall to create flexible space. Beyond, bronze pendant lights warmly illuminate the bar, where a deconstructed design in a pinwheel-shaped plan is perfect for socializing in small groups.

To create a space that transforms from day to evening, Rockwell Group designed three Paul McCobb-inspired bar carts. At night, they allow guests to enjoy the theatrical aspect of cocktail preparation.
