LookUp: MIXD’s Award-Winning Event Space Soaring Above Warsaw’s Skyline

The LookUp conference and event space, located on the 41st and 42nd floors of the Skyliner skyscraper in Warsaw, stands as a remarkable achievement in interior design, recently recognized on the international stage. Designed by MIXD, the space draws inspiration from the air, sky, movement and building’s striking, asymmetric silhouette, resembling a blade slicing through the sky.

LookUp – celebrating award-winning design

Spanning an impressive 830 m², LookUp seamlessly integrates advanced multimedia technologies with stylish interiors that offer breath-taking views of the city skyline.

The event space, which accommodates up to 120 guests on the 41st floor, showcases a combination of high-quality neutral materials and bold, three-dimensional elements—highlighted by a spectacular bar and an eye-catching ribbon installation that appears to float in the air.

MIXD’s innovative design has not gone unnoticed. LookUp was shortlisted in the prestigious Hospitality Design Awards 2024 for the best event space category. Furthermore, it achieved the coveted title at the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2024, winning the Surface Interior category for Europe.

Skyliner is growing in the very centre of the new business district of Warsaw, right next to Rondo Daszyńskiego. The dynamics of this place, undergoing a rapid transformation from a slightly neglected industrial district into a modern, urban city, the intersection of important communication arteries of the capital and the building itself, soaring into the sky to a height of 195 meters, contributed to the idea of ​​the MIXD design concept.

The dynamic character of LookUp is enhanced by its artistic elements and custom installations, which echo the captivating design aesthetic of the Skyliner itself. Notably, the interior features copper-coloured mirrors, burl veneer, and acoustic solutions that ensure an enjoyable experience without echo interference.

Michał Werner, Design Manager of MIXD said:

“We kept in mind all along that this place would have to adapt flexibly to the needs of subsequent clients. The space is almost empty, the madness of details, patterns and textures takes place on the walls and other surfaces.”

With its blend of creativity and practicality, LookUp not only elevates the event experience but also reflects a pioneering spirit in interior design, earning accolades that position it among the elite spaces in the hospitality industry. As Piotr Kalinowski, CEO of MIXD, notes, “Cutting Edge” perfectly encapsulates this visionary venue. Whether for corporate events or celebrations, LookUp in the Skyliner embodies a transformative approach to event spaces, setting a new standard that is now being celebrated and recognized across Europe.
