THE CHALLENGE

Owner Minesh Patel chose to design the restaurants décor himself. He wanted to bring the opulence of Mayfair to Stanmore, with no expense spared on the materials used to create a stunning interior.

 

As Minesh's first venture into the hospitality industry, he wanted M18 to become the flagship venue for any future restaurants he opened. He sourced the finest Italian leather tables handmade especially for M18, as well as two beautiful glass wine walls manufactured by a leading wine furniture specialist. To complement this, Minesh wanted the venue's lighting to have a high end, elegant feel.

THE SOLUTION

Minesh approached Chantelle Lighting to help him interpret his brief for the lighting at the venue. The design team at Chantelle suggested using copper fittings to bring warmth to the venue, with our stunning Ombré range fitting the brief perfectly. Forty of the 'Flow' fittings from this range were hung in a mesmerising cluster above a private booth area, adding to the mood and atmosphere in the restaurant. We also designed and manufactured personalised LED copper pendants with the word M18 cut out to be hung over the tables. These mirror the logo on the outside of the building. Six LED colour changing rings are visible across the restaurant and look striking against the interiors which include deep button seating and fabric panelled ceilings. Adding to the copper theme, ten retro up/down wall lights were sprayed in our copper finish to complete the look of the venue.

THE RESULT

M18 is a truly beautiful restaurant made visually striking with smart, prominent lighting products designed and manufactured by Chantelle Lighting.

 

Owner Minesh Patel said: "We are delighted with the excellent comments we have received from customers about out décor and the ambience the lighting designed by Chantelle Lighting has created. We are pleased that we have been able to bring such an exciting restaurant to Stanmore and look forward to building on the success of our first venue in the future."
