The Challenge

Chantelle has worked with the Village Hotel Group on various projects across the UK including sites in Cardiff, Warrington and Elstree.

The group was seeking large quantities of light fittings for their bedrooms such as table lamps and floor lamps. In addition, it required lighting for the reception areas, the corridors and also the restaurant at the Edinburgh Hotel. The layout for all the venue was very similar, so it was a case of replicating the lighting throughout.

There is a slightly urban, dark feel to the hotels in general, so to lighten things up a little, the designers were looking for fun, quirky and interesting light fittings.

And that's exactly what we gave them, as the team at Chantelle created playful light fittings, which were still simplistic enough to suit the rest of the interior.

The solution

Chantelle produced a stunning nine arm pendant in black for the reception area at each venue. This features adjustable arms that can be shifted to point in any direction.

The corridors in the hotel venues are lit up with downlights, which are angled towards the doors; this creates a sultry mood, enticing guests as they used the corridor paths.

The lighting supplied for the bedrooms is minimalistic; usually angled and manufactured from wood and chrome to create a simplistic look , which is versatile and will match any interior. The designers chose bright, bold colours to furnish the bedrooms, so the overall look is very modern and current.

Our team of craftsmen and women also manufactured lighting for the restaurant at the site in Edinburgh. We provided feature lighting which was a real focal point for diners; an array of rustic barrel pendants drape effortlessly from the ceiling, accompanied by single black pendants with a gold inner that hang in clusters for maximum effect.

The Result

The Village Hotel Group was really pleased with the final result. A soft launch was held to celebrate the openings of the sites, and suppliers, including Chantelle, were invited to attend as a thank you.

As a company which are constantly evolving; Head of FF&E for The Village Group; Gidi Matlin was particularly impressed with Chantelle's ability to react quickly and be flexible in terms of the requirements for the project.
