Lambart & Browne to Design Bar at Decorex International 2018
Lambart & Browne, the interior designers behind London’s Loulou’s, have been selected to design this year’s Decorex bar.Lambart & Browne was briefed to design a space which would provide a fresh direction for Decorex’s new bar, an evolution of the champagne bar featured in previous years, which will offer a selection of botanically infused cocktails.The starting point for the design was the expression ‘bon viveur’ — derived from the French phrase ‘bon vivant’ meaning one who lives well, which was adopted by the English in the mid-19th century. The London-based practice will evoke this mood by fashioning an elegant yet refined colonial-style aesthetic.“We have designed the bar in a contemporary British style, classic eclectic. With this design we are inviting visitors to take a moment to reflect on the inspiring designs they have seen at Decorex in appropriately comfortable and elegant surroundings,” comments Freddy van Zevenbergen, co-founder and head designer.The design will consist of a tent-like structure mounted on a raised platform. Each corner will feature rope-wrapped pillars, supporting a sailcloth ceiling. Sheer curtains on three sides of the bar will offer privacy and softer ambient lighting.The bar interiors will be adorned with shaped decorative screens and luxurious furniture. Elegant lighting features are set to provide impactful focal points. Additional seating spaces will be dotted outside the bar, surrounded by accessories and screened to offer further privacy.Lambart & Browne’s design will include recognizable pieces from a number of the show’s exhibitors, contributing to a lavish yet comfortable experience.Lambart & Browne is headed up by Freddy van Zevenbergen and Tom Browning, who started their careers with renowned socialite interior designer Nicky Haslam and went on to work with him for over a decade. Since Lambart & Browne’s conception, the London based team of young talent have worked on a vast spectrum of projects in both residential and boutique commercial sectors all over the world.Decorex, the show of choice for the luxury interiors and design market, returns for its 41st edition to the historic Syon Park. It will host more than 400 exhibitors from established names to up-and-coming brands. Once again the opening destination of The London Design Festival, the 2018 show runs from September 16 through September 19, 2018.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
