The Royal Oak

Description

The refurbished Royal Oak at Arsenal's Emirates stadium respectfully encapsulates the football club's founding roots, whilst offering a modern and welcoming environment for guests. The dynamic space offers an alternative type of experience to regular match day hospitality by adding an intimate glimpse of the heritage of the club whilst still providing large volumes of space for more than 2,000 match day fans.

Tiles Used

Slate effect tiles from the Slate 1 range, a Victorian pattern from the Program 2 range and a bespoke mosaic were supplied.

Outcome

20.20 Limited, who describe themselves as a team of original thinkers, challenge seekers, problem solvers, great listeners, storytellers, creative designers and digital experts collaborated with Arsenal FC to create and bring the venue to life.

Solus Ceramics were excited to assist with the project by supplying tiles to many different areas of the 1,400m2 space. Bespoke Victorian style tiling, beautiful slate effect tiles, and a complex logo mosaic all contribute to the premium, and authentic atmosphere. Around the central bar, Solus supplied porcelain slate effect tiles from the aptly named Slate 1 range. These charcoal black tiles, offer an authentic recreation of slate like textures and crevices, whilst providing the excellent and reliable durability of porcelain.

To complement these natural look tiles, Solus also supplied a bespoke and complex Victorian style floor pattern to the seating and table area. The pattern, which was designed by the creative team at 2020, used an existing Victorian pattern from the Program 2 range, which was then modified to include an alternative bespoke cut, claret red triangle tile.

Finally Solus also project managed and supplied the complex mosaic floor design that overlooks the football pitch.
