Tiles Used
Luxury 5HTR505, Bright range, Mariana 5HTR517, Bright range, Catton 5EAL004, Vintage range, Sparken 7STG676, Madrid range, and Attract 7XKG101, Identity range.
Outcome
Consciously crafted with sustainability at its heart, Midlands Arts Centre’s reinvigorated KILN restaurant has embraced an eco-friendly ethos throughout its fresh and funky design.
Under the guidance of 2G Design & Build, the eatery has been transformed from a casual canteen offering a snack-based menu to a more formal and sophisticated setting where guests can enjoy locally sourced, sustainable produce, served to their table.
Setting the scene for the change in direction, an eye-catching terrazzo-effect hosting stand, composed of large format Attract tiles, greets guests on arrival. The desk’s engineered marble composition augments the restaurant’s ‘green’ credentials while its creamy base, decorated with warm mustard, burnt orange, peach and charcoal stones, creates a theatrical visual.
The venue’s rich retro palette of teal and terracotta is complemented by the cerulean tones of Mariana, and dove colouring of Luxury, which adorn the walls, while a dazzling apron composed of Solus’ Sparken tiles, featuring marble-based engineered stone, has been laid in front of the bar, its nostalgic chroma beautifully enhancing the space. A subtle yet stylish ivory wall of crackle-effect Catton tiles sits behind the counter.
