For other designers, exploiting the tackiness of the ’70s can only go so far. Tracie Butler (see photo 12), for example, took a fairly reverent approach to the decade’s aesthetic when she created the look for Central, the sister venue to Parc. Butler intended the club to have the vibe of a hyper-stylized park (hence the name Central), which conveniently allowed her to employ wood paneling and earth-tone furnishings—so very 30-years-ago. But in 2008, those design cues look tastefully hot without screaming “throwback.” Central’s mostly A-list clientele suggests the venue’s look is working out just fine.
