Chasing Rabbits is a unique luxury entertainment space in the alpine resort village of Vail, Colo. Head inside after time on the bunny slopes to savor Mediterranean dishes with “Colorado flair” in The Restaurant. Relax with pre-dinner and late-night cocktails in The Library. Lose track of time while you enjoy games and movies in the playful Rabbit Hole. Know the password? Then pass through a modern “red carpet” for music and mixed drinks in the Moon Rabbit speakeasy. The Chasing Rabbits design earned a Merit Award at the IESNYC 2023 Lumen Awards and was the inaugural Hospitality/Retail winner of the DLFNY Beacon Award of Excellence. ENR Mountain States recognized Chasing Rabbits with a 2023 Best Project award for renovation/restoration. And the project received three Bar and Restaurant Design Awards and one Conceptual Design Award at the 2024 LIT Awards. Hundreds of custom Acolyte fixtures were specified throughout the Chasing Rabbits venue by the hopping team at Focus Lighting. Various Series 2 RibbonLyte types were installed in surface mounted, recessed, corner and grazer channels to accommodate several linear applications. It’s no tall tail – at Acolyte, custom is our custom. We produce custom fixtures, well, like rabbits!
