A dog-shaped bronze sculpture and pale pink onyx basins feature in our latest lookbook, which collects a selection of lavish members' clubs from around the world.
Members' clubs are private spaces that offer social and other facilities to paying members, typically designed with luxurious touches.
From a newly opened venue in São Paulo to one of London's first nightclubs, these eight projects reveal the breadth of visual influences and materials that make up these exclusive spaces.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring giant sofas, statement bathtubs and self-designed homes by architects and designers.
