The brief: RDA’s expert team was drafted in to revamp a tired VIP suite at the O2 Arena in London, voted International Venue of the Year for the tenth time in 2017.
The brief demanded effortless, high-end style to deliver a premium food and beverage experience for visitors – without overlooking the space’s functional requirements.
The result: Every aspect of the Compass Suite’s design speaks of sophistication, from the elegant parquet flooring to the striking neon wall light.
The design team also incorporated hand-made oak wall and ceiling features, premium fabrics and a timeless butler’s sink for guests to chill their bottled drinks. Details including brass-edged marble table tops and chic wall lights complete the lounge’s overall high-end feel.
Gantry shelving housing quartz heat lamps on adjustable levels was introduced, as well as heat pads set into a bespoke Corian countertop to ensure that the buffet unit was both aesthetically pleasing and operationally sound.
