Deep Dive

Seattle, WA

Tucked beneath The Seattle Spheres, Deep Dive invites guests into an otherworldly sensory escape. Once a windowless mechanical room, the space was transformed through a bold collaboration into a richly layered speakeasy—its concept drawn from the fantastical worlds of Jules Verne. Charlie led the design, weaving together a palette of jewel tones and tactile materials—tufted velvet, supple leather, braided fringe, and light-catching aluminum—to create an atmosphere both opulent and mysterious. Biophilic gestures nod to the Spheres above, grounding the space in nature while embracing its theatrical flair. Every curve and corner evokes discovery. The result is a moody, transportive experience that blurs the line between fiction and reality.
