Scope: Bar Fit Out
A concept and build project for Ar tisan’s ground floor bar. While Ar tisan Restaurant, located on the first floor, offers a more formal dining experience, the bar needed to be redesigned in order to tempt in and accommodate passing footfall traffic.
Duality was a big par t of this project. The bar needed to echo the visual brand identity of the restaurant upstairs without replicating it, and the space needed to work equally well for lunchtime customers and evening revellers.
STRIKING + WELCOMING
The lunchtime crowd at Ar tisan want to stop in, sit down and chill out, either with a drink or a bite to eat We designed the bar to be a visually arresting but welcoming space
GLAZING, LIGHTING, METALWORK
Custom glazing, lighting and metalwork play a prominent role in Ar tisan’s new look The design includes bespoke restaurant furniture, statement pendant lights, and bold flashes of neon, featuring Ar tisan’s ‘A’ motif
BESPOKE COMMERCIAL BAR
We worked closely with Ar tisan’s bar guru to create a striking, 20-foot, stainless steel commercial bar system, including bespoke cocktail stations, hanging glass racks and speed rails to cope with high demand
BAR FURNITURE
A key consideration of the bar layout was the furniture, set out for lunch and quickly cleared for the evening A raft of stylish, freestanding tables and chairs, complementing the fixed seating, was the solution
