Brief
Old Bengal Warehouse is a collection of 4 restaurants, bar and retail areas in a single Grade II listed building: Fish Market, New St Grill, The Old Bengal Bar and The Wine Store. Each has a very different feel and required an individualistic approach to lighting. The client wished to create a unique destination between the City and East London.
Concept
The lighting for all venues is based on a concept of high-impact and dramatic effect. into collaborated with Conran+Partners to design large bespoke pendant and wall lights along with a crafted track system to angle fittings onto key surfaces.
Result
Each space – although connected – represents a very different aesthetic and ambience through lighting. The Old Bengal Bar is dark and moody, with bespoke chandeliers and wall lights and very little ambient lighting. This is in contrast to the Fish Market which is light and airy and has multiple caged pendants hanging low over white furnishings.
