VIVI features tiles from the Palace range.
Outcome
Taking inspiration from the ‘Swinging London’ of the 1960’s, VIVI is a new all-day brasserie located in the ambitious redevelopment of Centre Point, a historical London landmark located in the heart of the West End.
Designed by Gordon Young of Gordon Young Architects*, for the premium hospitality group Rhubarb, the journey from ground floor entrance to the restaurant pays homage to the 60’s.
This is particularly manifest in the unique floor design of the lobby, which not only conveys the namesake of the restaurant but also perfectly evokes the extravagant glamour of the era.
Crafted using polished porcelain material from Solus’ marble-like Palace range, the design team selected two opposing black and white shades to create the bold and dramatic monochrome pattern.
Tiling comes into play again at the VIVI Bar where customers are met with a luxurious round bar surrounded by marble-look flooring, created using bespoke chevron tiles, fabricated once again with tiles from the gorgeous Palace range
