Bar & Beyond is a new concept for the UK late-night bar market offering a split level experience, serving food and drinks at the bar, and then after dark, transforming into a high quality club experience.

The bar has been designed so that the experience is fantastic the moment you walk through the door; whether that's relaxing and eating food, or partying at night-time.

The Challenge

Keane Brands were the designers tasked with coming up with a concept for Bar & Beyond. Chantelle Lighting has worked with the company previously, so was thrilled to accept the project.

In terms of the interior design, the bar was to be stripped back, and transformed to a cutting edge design scheme, whilst still retaining the original character of the space. 

Keane Brands were looking to create an honest, urban feel to the bar which coincided with the split level experience that Bar & Beyond is offering to customers.

The Solution

Chantelle manufactured a series of quirky wall lights and pendant which mirrored the interior design scheme. The company provided its industrial style large ventilation pendants, which are made from steel, adding to the raw, unfinished look.

A real show stopped in the club are the industrial car headlight style wall lights; these have a ribbed glass shade and eight LED pygmy bulbs inside. The bright additions to the interior sit brilliantly next to the graffiti messaging, and paint dripping down the walls effect, illuminating the subtle message which references the author, John Steinbeck.

Chantelle's very own Sulphur range features in the bar; vibrant red pendants, which include a globe filament bulb hang over the bar, adding to the quirky yet edgy design.

The Result

All involved with the design concept was thrilled with the overall effect. The venue has an urban and stripped back feel, and the interior design and lighting perfectly meets the brief given by the owners at Bar & Beyond.

Anthony Holly, managing director at Chantelle Lighting said, "We were delighted to work with Keane Brands on another great project. The urban, industrial and cutting edge design was complemented nicely by our light fittings. The bar in Stevenage looks fantastic, the quirky feel adds plenty of character and we're sure customers will love the space!"
