Chillout spaces

Chillout-cafes, bars and clubs; for example the legendary 30-year-old Helsinki Club, located in Helsinki, Finland. The "chillout" concept lies somewhere between space and music, architecture and sound. Ever since the electronic music boom, chillout spaces became a common feature inside of clubs and raves, offering a place in which to relax from the hectic beats and enjoy more mellow tunes, which became baptized under the general term ambient. This encounter between space and sound opened up a whole new field in architecture and design that not only stimulated the evolution of this music genre, but also inspired a rich variety of lounge spaces around the world in which to wind down and chill out in style.
