Quaglino

Description

Following a £3 million refurbishment, the legendary Art Deco restaurant Quaglino's was nominated for a Restaurant and Bar Design Award 2015, in the Lighting Scheme category. Solus were delighted to supply the main flooring tiles that were used throughout the venue.

Tiles Used

The Compression range was chosen for the main floor area and elegant black and white tiles were selected from the Lightning range.

Outcome

The London eatery, which in the past attracted admiration from all sorts of celebrities and The Queen herself, has undergone an extensive makeover led by the talented team at Russell Sage Studio.

Key to the reinvention of the space was to hark back to an era of formal attire and sense of occasion.

The balcony bar, an ideal pre-diner drinks space and a large cocktail bar central to the dining space, all face a new staged area for late night music. As well as many new additions such as hexagonal fixtures and tessellated designs in gold, black and purple, many features such as the iconic staircase have been lovingly refreshed.

Solus supplied floor tiles to the lower floor restaurant area and the WCs. More than 500m2 of 600x600mm tiles from the luxurious Compression range were laid throughout the expansive seating area, around and inside the fabulous cocktail bar, and through to the toilets.

The tiles, which feature evocative layers, were inspired by the geology of natural marble and provide an elegant and grandiose mood that feels modern yet respectful to the Art Deco history of the venue.
