MOGO Hi-Fi Bar: Milan’s Retro-Industrial Sound Sanctuary


In Milan's vibrant Isola district, MOGO Hi-Fi Bar emerges as a harmonious blend of retro charm and industrial design, conceived by Giorgia Longoni Studio. Drawing inspiration from mid-century Japanese jazz cafés, the space centers around a handcrafted 360-degree sound station, enveloped in steel, velvet, and carved wood, serving as both a visual and auditory focal point.The bar's name, derived from the South African Sotho word "Mmogo," meaning "together," encapsulates its ethos of communal gathering. Warm terracotta tones and aquamarine hues dominate the palette, complemented by natural materials like carved wood and washi paper, creating an inviting atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from day to night. A luminous ceiling adapts its lighting throughout the day, casting bright light during daylight hours and shifting to amber hues in the evening.

 

High-fidelity sound is paramount at MOGO, with custom speakers designed by H.A.N.D. Hi-Fi and Sound Metaphors integrated into the DJ booth and suspended from the ceiling, ensuring an immersive auditory experience. Artistic touches, such as custom tapestries by Andrea Corvino depicting expressive masks and animal motifs, add layers of texture and cultural depth to the space.

MOGO Hi-Fi Bar stands as a testament to thoughtful design, where every element—from acoustics to aesthetics—coalesces to foster a unique environment for socializing, dining, and experiencing music in its purest form.
