Award winning caterers choose Heterarchy to design their first Restaurant

22 May 2012

Five Rivers Catering Group, the award winning event caterers in Punjabi
cuisine, launched their first restaurant in Walsall which offers both dining
and banqueting within its purpose built home. For this exciting new venture
they chose Heterarchy to design of their dining area and bar as the company
able to deliver on their mission statement with the interiors:
"Compromise nothing; deliver everything"

And Heterarchy have certainly delivered. Within the exposed brick shell of
the building, which is in itself characterful, materials have been carefully
chosen to create a sense of luxury whilst providing an intimate feel within
what is quite a large space.

As you enter the building, into a small lounge area, upholstered wall panels
with bronze finish framing act as a backdrop for the free-standing curved
bench seats, creating the look of fixed seating but with added flexibility.
Attention to detail is everywhere, from the delicate crackled paint finish
to the carefully balanced tones of bronze in both upholstery and laminates.
This curved bank of seating flows seamlessly into the main bar structure,
again with bronze finish framing around buttoned and upholstered panels. A
bar counter of solid black quartz, with a deliberately thin edge profile, is
as crisp as it is luxurious.

In the bar area the contrasting steel and hardwood rolling ladder against
the double height, wood shelving make for a striking focal point . Six
columns of silvered antique oak provide support for both the ladders and the
glass shelves. Bronze antique mirrors to the rear of the glass shelves are
edge lit using linear LEDs. The overall effect is a carefully balanced mix
of industrial and luxurious, bringing together the characterful brick walls
with the more opulent setting of the main dining space.

Almost fully booked since it opened the striking décor has helped it stand
out from its competitors marry perfectly with the quality of the food to
create a unique and luxurious dining experience.

Tony Matters, Creative Director of Heterarchy, says that;
"This was an exciting project to be involved in, particularly working with
the dynamic and highly motivated team at Five Rivers. We enjoyed a close
working relationship with the client team and I hope we produced an interior
that is a true reflection of their brand and entrepreneurial spirit."
