An interior designer with 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Cenk Fikri is passionate about the culture of entertaining. Cypriot-born and London-raised, Cenk (pronounced Jenk, in case there's any confusion), has always taken a 360-degree approach to his work, even starting out as a bartender in London nightclubs. To create a multi-dimensional experience, you need to take a multi-dimensional approach. "For an idea to succeed you need to personalize it," he says. His vision for the Playboy Club New York has finally been realized and the result is transportive, to say the least. Here, he talks to us about how this vision came to be.
