It was designed to draw inspiration from Chicago&#8217;s art deco and midcentury modern architecture styles, and, as such, it features eye-catching design elements. These include what look to be monochromatic tones and arched walls.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the design, the lounge also features photography by two renowned local artists, Mark Hersch and Angie McMonigal. These pictures of Chicago&#8217;s urban landscape further the local touches that The Club built into this space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been uniquely designed; it&#8217;s a one-of-a-kind design.
