The mysterious nightclub created by David Lynch now has a location in New York

Red is omnipresent in Silencio's recently-opened New York location, designed by Crosby Studios.

A little over a decade ago, French businessman Arnaud Frisch had a vision. At 142 Rue de Montmartre — home to the country’s most committed press during the 19th and 20th centuries — he would make his personal dream come true: a club that would give free rein to the fantasies of a public that was thirsty for a different kind of night out, involving the strictest privacy. “Silencio is a refuge where the noise of everyday life fades away, making room for authentic artistic and cultural encounters, as well as moments of reflection and creativity,” Frisch explains to EL PAÍS by email.

Filmmaker David Lynch drew inspiration for the artistic direction of the first Silencio location in Paris from the club of the same name featured in his film 'Mulholland Drive' (2001).

Coordinated by interior designer Raphael Navot, all the furniture was designed exclusively for the venue, such as the series of asymmetrical blackbird seats in the lounges.

The Balearic architecture collective Moredesign has created the bohemian setting of Silencio Ibiza, where there’s no shortage of natural fibres, Balinese beds and sand floors.

Silencio Ibiza has given a twist to the traditional beach bar concept, but with a nod to the island's hippie DNA, like the lysergic letters on the sign.
