Artezan win Silver

Tuesday 8th June, at the AIS President’s Dinner at The Dorchester Hotel, London, Artezan were awarded Silver for their Specialist Joinery work at the Aqua restaurant, London.

Set atop the former Dickins & Jones department store on London’s prestigious Regents Street, aqua London epitomises destination dining with its blend of cutting edge cuisine, über chic interiors and breathtaking views.

aqua London consists of two amazing and distinct dining spaces, aqua nueva and aqua kyoto, together with a pre- and post-dining bar, aqua spirit.

Artezan were contracted to design, supply and install specialist joinery in both restaurants and the central corridor that links the two restaurants.

For aqua kyoto, the Japanese inspired restaurant, the specialist joinery included the main sushi bar and a circular holding bar area, where hanex worktops, laminate panelling, screens with bronze mirrors, screen printed bronze paint panels, bronze mesh panels behind glass and various arrangements of banquet seating were among the materials used and works completed.

In aqua nueva, a Northern Spanish design, Artezan designed and installed two bars with oak and bronze rear wood block feature panels; front glazed, display cases with hanging feature beads as well as a 20m feature wall with timber beads hanging from a splayed mansard ceiling, with banquet seating and toilet areas with similar features.

The link corridor is lined with glazed display cases with various shades of grey vamceva interlayer mirrors and low level light boxes with screen printed metal mesh hanging panels.

With the clients’ exceptional design and vision and Artezan’s demand for quality and high standard of workmanship, this is a truly outstanding project. 

Huge congratulations to all the team involved in this award winning project.
