What materials to use for home bar?

I'm building a home bar and would like a modern look. This is my second big project and would love some ideas as to what building materials to use when building the bar. I would love to build something similar to the bar in the link below. What materials do you think they used? If wood, what kind and what method did they use to create the smooth white finish? Thanks! http://www.alldoing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modern-home-bar-design-pictures-2.jpg I would especially like to know what materials they used for the curved black portions. What method would be good to recreate that section? thanks again

1. Can't tell too much from the picture. But is looks like it would be made mostly of particle board with plastic laminate. It's really an artist's computerized conception - it really doesn't exist. If you look at the foot rail, there are no supports for it. But it certainly can be built. The black curved portions would probably need steel framework to support itself plus the glasses and rack mounted to it. Plain wood could eventually warp and slope toward the center unless a support rod from the ceiling were connected to it. I would include a support anyway.
2. For a home bar, you need beer, beer, and beer. I mean, to build a home bar, you need wood, paint, and stools. Get a wall sized mirror. If you will be in business as a bar (even though it's a home bar), add a cash register.
