Located in Nottingham city centre, Be at One is the ultimate cocktail bar offering great service, an unbeatable party atmosphere and a pretension-free attitude.

The very first Be at One in Battersea Rise opened its doors in 1998; it was an instant success and now the company has bars located across the country. 

The Challenge

Design company Fusion were tasked with freshening up the bar and creating a whole new look. Chantelle has worked with Fusion on various other projects, so the two understood how one another worked.

The idea was to create a Miami art deco look, that still maintained the brand's key characteristics. The fun, vibrant atmosphere of the bar was to be reflected through the décor and lighting.

The bar is situated in a basement so the lighting was particularly important here, in order to create the right mood, ambience and glow. 

The Solution

Chantelle created and manufactured two stunning, bespoke, antique pink multi ring pendants with 24 warm LED lamps in each. The bespoke fittings were eye-catching and added a new dimension to the bar. Keeping in line with the 'Miami' theme, they were bold, bright, colourful and playful; exactly like Be at One.

The bespoke fittings are also practical too, lighting up the bar and seating areas in each room, so customers are able to relax and enjoy their drinks in a comfortable environment with just the right amount of lighting.

Six of Chantelle's industrial mesh wall lights feature throughout the bar. Offering much more subtle and gentle lighting to the pink pendant, the wall lights are dotted around the bar to create a warm glow. Finished in distressed bronze, the wall lights are quirky yet simplistic, complementing the rest of the interior nicely.
