Occupying the top floor of the former Dickins & Jones department store on London's prestigious Regents Street, Aqua London epitomises destination dining with its blend of cutting edge cuisine, uber chic interiors and breathtaking views.
Aqua London consists of two 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.
Specialist joinery in Aqua Kyoto, the Japanese inspired restaurant, included the main sushi bar and a circular holding bar area. Materials consisted of hanex worktops, laminate panelling, screens with bronze mirrors, screen printed bronze paint panels, bronze mesh panels behind glass and various arrangements of banquet seating.
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 was 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.
