ABDA Design, a leading design consultancy specialising in the hospitality sector, has unveiled its latest project, Twelve Ashby, a sophisticated fine dining cocktail bar in Leicestershire. The design experts at ABDA were tasked by Kang Leisure to create a unique and immersive space that would stand out from other venues in the local area.
A vintage and eclectic theme was at the heart of ABDA’s design concept, together with the desire to create an exclusive venue that would captivate guests. The design team meticulously crafted the space, carefully considering the transition from day to evening and creating a dynamic ambience.
With a fine dining menu and a creative cocktail list, the venue’s owners were keen that the surrounding atmosphere matched the experiential nature of the food & drink offer. ABDA’s design team sought to address this with eye-catching features including large bespoke globe pendants and the layering of reed dish light fittings for a striking look and an impressive backdrop for guests’ photos. Another key focal point of the space is the specially designed corner wrap-around bar, featuring gleaming brass inlays and sculpted lighting to give an elevated cocktail experience. The luxurious bar area is complemented by a mix of contrasting materials, including tiled floors, distressed timber herringbone, and exotic foliage wallpapers. The result is a space that exudes both opulence and individuality.
“Twelve Ashby is a testament to our ability to create truly exceptional hospitality environments,” said Michael Hall, senior designer at ABDA Design. “Our goal was to design a space that would not only impress but also inspire repeat visits, with the eclectic design features offering guests something different every time. We drew upon our expertise in the sector as well as thorough research of the local area to ensure we created something unique. We believe we ultimately achieved this through a combination of bold design, a strong grasp of how different materials and finishes intersect, and a deep understanding of our client’s vision.”
Twelve Ashby has been incredibly well received, establishing a reputation as an exciting destination in the local area. “Feedback from our client has been fantastic and we couldn’t be more pleased with what we achieved together” concluded ABDA’s Michael Hall.
Twelve Ashby is the latest addition to the specialist hospitality design firm’s portfolio, which includes projects for many other leading restaurants, bars, and hotel groups. ABDA Design works closely with its clients to turn ideas into reality with interior design and brand development, commercial kitchens plus build and interior fit outs.
