Tenjune Explored via ‘The Art of Human Aesthetics’

Very Important Place.
Very Important Place.

Have you ever wanted to read seven paragraphs about the décor of a meatpacking-district nightclub? BlackBook’s Website thinks you do — and so they’ve started a column, Dark Design, that “explores nightlife spaces through the art of human aesthetics.” Ooo-kay. First up, a verbose look at iCrave’s design for Tenjune (where, incidentally, we’re told Paris Hilton and Benji Madden were filming for her upcoming MTV show last night): “The new generation of luminaries wants to mix with those who want to be luminous. The new VIP is not a person; it is a ‘very important place.’” Um, good to know. And another head-scratcher: “The powerful now want the popular power of the circular dance floor. It’s high time to have high times in the Obama oval, while the Bush back room says good-bye.” Maybe in the days of mazelike megaclubs like Limelight, this column would’ve made sense (assuming it was written in a way that, uh, made sense), but, really, how much can be said about the interior of, say, Santos’ Party House? Though we’re sure Dark Design will have much to say about the downstairs “conversation pit.”
