As part of the recent regeneration of the area around King's Cross, Drake & Morgan have opened their ninth venue, which shares its name with the area. Spread across two floors, Drake & Morgan at King's Cross is the biggest venue yet covering a huge 14,500 square feet, and comprises of two bars, a restaurant, a deli, a lounge, a private dining space and series of bookable kitchen pods.
Tiles Used
Tiles from the Honeycomb, Artistry and Elegance ranges.
Outcome
The dining and drinks destination is located behind King’s Cross Station, and follows on from the success of other venues in the city such as The Fable, The Happenstance and The Drift, all of which have featured tiles from Solus.
Once again, Fusion DNA was responsible for the interior design of project, and specified a range of wall tiles from Solus that were fitted in various areas. In the basement, trapezium wall tiles from the Honeycomb range were used, creating an intriguing and interesting wall design. A recently added format to the range, the trapezium is effectively a split hexagon, and is set to be ‘the’ trendsetting shape for 2016 and beyond.
In the toilets, Solus supplied beautiful glossy black wall tiles from the Artistry range. Two sizes were chosen and used together to form a unique geometric pattern. On the ground floor, hand made tiles that were produced specially for the project decorate the walls behind the open kitchen and nearby pillars. The dark tiles possess an iridescent glossy quality and are rustically rippled, gently reflecting natural light coming from the outside.
A standout element of the overall design, the tiles provide a playful style whilst echoing the high quality aesthetic of the establishment.
