Welcome to the Poker Lounge
Step into the Velvet Courthouse poker lounge, a dedicated space where the tactile thrill of offline poker meets the elegance of 1970s Australian Modernist design.
Designed for the Game
The poker lounge is crafted to heighten concentration and camaraderie. Smoked-glass partitions diffuse light, while sculptural chairs and deep, warm tones wrap players in comfort.
The 1970s Australian Modernist aesthetic is evident in the geometric forms and earthy palette of warm sand, espresso, and dusty teal. Acoustic treatments ensure conversations and the shuffle of cards are clear, without distraction. The lighting is adjustable, creating pools of light over each poker table while keeping the surrounding space intimate.
Sit Back and Settle In
Our lounge seating is a blend of sculptural form and ergonomic support. Chairs are upholstered in warm sand and muted mauve fabrics, with curved backs that encourage relaxed posture during long poker sessions.
The chairs are designed to complement the 1970s aesthetic, with rounded lines and tactile textures. Each seat is positioned to provide a clear view of the poker table and fellow players. Additional lounge seating, including low sofas and ottomans, is available for spectators or between games.
A Space for Gatherings
The poker lounge is designed to host both intimate poker gatherings and larger events. The flexible seating arrangement can be adapted to suit different group sizes, ensuring everyone feels part of the action.
The lounge can accommodate private poker sessions with prior arrangement. The layout encourages social interaction while maintaining focus on the game. Warm lighting and soft textures create a welcoming environment for both players and guests.
More Than a Game
The Velvet Courthouse card lounge is a destination for those who appreciate the ritual of offline poker. The sound of shuffling cards, the weight of clay chips, and the quiet focus of players create an atmosphere that is both exhilarating and calming.
The lounge is designed to engage all senses, from the tactile felt of the tables to the subtle scent of leather and wood. Soft background music, curated to the era, enhances the mood without distracting from play. The space encourages conversation and connection, making every poker session a memorable social event.
