Harrison Transforms Iconic St Austell Brewery Pub

M

ulti-discipline brand design consultancy, Harrison, has overhauled popular Cornwall pub, The Oystercatcher. The extensive twoyear project combined new branding, integrated interior design and architecture to deliver a contemporary look and feel that highlights the venue’s stunning views of Polzeath Beach – one of Cornwall’s most renowned surfing destinations.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

With a new expansive extension, the St Austell Breweryowned The Oystercatcher, which stands on top of the Polzeath village hill, now boasts a large-scale glazed frontage, which has tripled the internal covers, and frames stunning panoramic views of the beach and surrounding countryside. The massive extension has not only enlarged the dining space, but also allowed for the creation of an external seating area.

Inspired by natural materials, the surfing ties of the area and the nearby beach, the Harrison team have created a space that brings in light, and a current finish that works seamlessly with the original building structure. With an extension of space into the dining area, The Oystercatcher is now able to maximise its food offering and with more floor space, increase the profit opportunity of the already popular bar.

Kevin Grima, Creative Director, Harrison, comments: “We were tasked by the team at St Austell Brewery to help update The Oystercatcher and also to look at ways to expand the outside space – keeping in mind the importance of any changes to help escalate the profitability of the venue.

“We wanted to bring in elements of nature, surfing (the bar is in a surfing hotspot) and the beach, but of course didn’t wanted to create anything overly themed. The main challenge was to ensure that we updated the space but didn’t create a

disconnect between the atmosphere vibe of the bar and the rest of The Oystercatcher building – which is also a hotel.

We are extremely happy with the final design, and it feels like The Oystercatcher now has a fitting look and feel to match its incredible bar view.”

Steve Worrall, Retail Director, St Austell Brewery says: “We’re delighted with the finished results of the Oystercatcher’s refurbishment and extension. Harrison have delivered an iconic venue – in keeping with its unrivalled views of Polzeath coastline - that perfectly fits with our initial brief.”

Harrison’s work with The Oystercatcher also included the inception of a new logo and branding, which now boldly unifies signage, menus and staff uniforms.

The Oystercatcher is open now and joins the Harrison family portfolio of work which spans across design, strategic thinking, insights, demographics and trend analysis with intelligent storytelling.

The hotel bedrooms fall into three categories: Cosy (14-17 sqm), Classic (18 sqm) and Suite (38 sqm). All boast en-suite bathrooms, comfortable Hypnos beds, WiFi, mini kettles and Nespresso machines and a small writing desk.

Following an extensive refurbishment, Hotel Das Tyrol is an elegant hotel that puts you at the heart of the action in Vienna. The walls of this luxury boutique hotel are adorned by an impressive collection of original Viennese and contemporary international artworks.

With a style that recalls the dolce vita heyday of the 1940s, Hotel De’ Ricci is a place where you can sip a Negroni on a velvet chair in the softly-lit Charade Bar. And when you want to explore, the enchanting Regola Rione quarter is right at your doorstep.

But its taste for vintage goes further than its 1,500 labels. For the ultimate wine experience, let the staff arrange a private tasting – or even a wine tour for a more tailored-made stay.

The alex – Santikos Collection’s new property on the Athens Riviera Santikos Collection is thrilled to open ‘The Alex’, their brand-NEW property for 2019 today, in the bustling port city of Piraeus on the Athens Riviera, just 15 minutes from the city centre.

Perched on Kastella’s Hill, the hotel overlooks the little harbour of Microlimano, lined with fishing boats, yachts and a host of bars and restaurants including the Michelinstarred Varoulko. Piraeus is one of the oldest parts of Attica and is currently going through a revival and surge in popularity. Back in the day, it was a favourite spot for people like Onassis, Kallas, Niarchos, and Kennedy and the dream of late shipping magnate Aristotelis Onassis was to create ‘Monte Kastella’ an international business & tourism centre, is finally becoming a reality. The area was also the inspiration for some of the most famous Greek artists including Tsarouchis, Eggonopoulos, Grammatopoulos & Fasianos.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

‘The Alex’ is the Santikos Collection’s first city hotel and fifth property within the portfolio, joining Marpunta Resort on the island of Alonnisos, Santikos Mansion in the Pelion region and the Aegean Suites & Princess, both located on Skiathos.

Katerina Santikou, Business Development Director for the Santikos Collection comments ‘we’re hugely excited that our first city hotel is opening today. Location is everything and we’ve found the perfect spot with 180-degree views of the Athens Coast. We’re are thrilled that our vision of creating a simple, minimalist yet luxurious, laidback space that will attract a young professional, local and international audience has become a reality. The

communal spaces are lively and vibrant, and visitors can choose between cultural day trips to Athens or islands such as Hydra & Spetses’.

The property is home to 34 rooms and suites offering stunning, far reaching views of the Athens Riviera, Stavros Niarchos and the Acropolis.

There is a strong focus on food with two dining options for guests – THE BOTANIST, a charming café & bistro area located on the ground floor is the perfect spot for guests to work, mingle and relax whilst the property’s USP is NEST, the rooftop restaurant and bar serving authentic Greek cuisine with a modern twist accompanied by breath-taking views of the Athenian Riviera including Faliron Bay, the Saronic Gulf and Mount Parnitha.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC) is just 10 minutes from the hotel.

LHG gets green light for further regeneration of Crystal Palace’s historic Queens Hotel

Designed by Assael Architecture, the development will see the hotel expand from its current capacity of 331 rooms to 495 (with 265 new hotel rooms, and 230 retained existing rooms), a big increase in car parking spaces to 207 (including 13 van spaces), new coach parking facilities, retention of locally listed buildings and the continued part retention of the historic Mews building to the rear of the hotel. The development will also see the re-cladding of the dated 1970s block to the rear of the site.

The refurbishment and enhancement of the hotel which is a short walk from Crystal Palace Park and the neighbourhood centre with its attractive shops, cafes and cinema - will create 100 new London Living Wage jobs with priority for local residents.

Meher Nawab, CEO of LHG: “Our plans will significantly improve the hotel accommodation, enhance the building’s most important heritage assets, provide new facilities and create additional employment opportunities for local people. Queens Hotel is a great asset for Crystal Palace, and our scheme will enable its much-needed modernisation and upgrading. We have taken on board comments made by local residents and businesses throughout the application process. The scheme we are pleased has now been agreed reduces the massing of the development at the rear of the site compared to earlier versions and provides additional car parking. The proposals will remove and alter some of the unattractive modern additions to the building and will enhance the Conservation Area within which the site is located.”

Simon Pitt, Director at Assael Architecture added: “We’re delighted that our design for Queens Hotel has been given the go ahead. The architectural design and composition will see the historic building refurbished and given an economically sustainable future through the redevelopment of the rest of the site, whilst improving its relationship to the conservation area and providing modern purpose-built hotel accommodation.”

Work to the hotel which has recently had a multi-million pound refurbishment is due to commence in 2020.

Cameron house resort unveils first phase of two million pound upgrade to its clubhouse and spa

Luxury Scottish five-star resort, Cameron House has unveiled the first stage in a two-millionpound transformation of its Carrick Resort into the Cameron Club and Spa.

Previously known as The Claret Jug restaurant, the renamed Clubhouse at Cameron has been fully renovated while retaining original features such as the stone fireplace and flagstone floor, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Café Spa has been relocated to the same level as the Clubhouse and offers a relaxing space complete with contemporary furnishings of colourful Scottish wools and soft leather. New internal windows have been installed which maximise natural light and make the most of the resort’s iconic views.

Located within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park, Cameron House resort has an array of dining options, an 18-hole Championship golf course, award-winning spa and lodge facilities. Cameron House Hotel, The Leisure Club, The Great Scots bar and Cameron Grill will reopen in 2020.

The Clubhouse at Cameron will serve traditional gastropub favourites

created from the finest locally sourced ingredients alongside a selection of cocktails, wines, and beers. The refreshed Café Spa will offer a choice of contemporary dishes with a healthy focus, perfect after a rejuvenating day at the spa.

Phase two of the Cameron Club and Spa renovation and will see the treatment rooms and spa facilities upgraded.

Commenting on the project, resort director Andy Roger said: “This work represents the start of an exciting transformation of what was previously called the Carrick Resort into the Cameron Club and Spa. Relocating the Café Spa to the ground floor level has allowed us to increase capacity and transform the Spa arrival experience. All of this was completed with the utmost care to ensure any changes make the most of our stunning setting. We are excited to continue to plan the next phases of the overall project and look forward to welcome guests to the new Clubhouse and Café Spa.” Greyline Design’s Gavin Liddle commented: “Our key aim for The Clubhouse at Cameron was to create a welcoming, characterful space with a laid-back feel. As well as a full renovation of the interior, the lighting has also been upgraded throughout to create

a warm and relaxing atmosphere where guests can take a moment to sit back and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Loch Lomond.

“As a stand-alone development, the Café Spa was an exciting clean sheet design opportunity. We mixed hard finishes such as grey parquet flooring with three-dimensional bronze mosaic and timber wall panelling, creating a calming space with warmth and character.”

Award-winning architecture firm 3DReid and renowned property consultants, Amicus worked alongside Greyline Design to deliver the project.

As well as a changing seasonal menu, The Clubhouse at Cameron holds monthly dining events such as, live music nights every Friday, steak nights and whisky, wine and gin tasting experiences.

Ribby Hall Village counts on Zonal to manage growth Ribby Hall Village is a family-owned, multi-award winning business that welcomes more than 1 million holiday makers every year.

Located in Wrea Green, Lancashire, Ribby Hall Village comprises five-star accommodation, The SPA Hotel and privately owned luxury holiday homes.

Other facilities include numerous restaurants, cafés and bars for visitors to choose from.

To help meet the complex needs of this diverse business and to deliver a seamless customer experience and optimise across-site spend, a flexible, reliable and EPoS-integrated technology solution was key.

IT Manager Steven Lonsdale appointed hospitality tech innovator, Zonal, following a comprehensive pitch process. He said: “Zonal has exceeded our expectations, providing us with the technology solutions we need, starting with its Aztec EPoS, from which we have been able to add on business modules to meet the changing needs of our business.”

With 11 venues attracting a range of customers from fine dining to large scale conference and banqueting

events, to casual and family-friendly dining, the functionality of Aztec and its reporting systems has helped transform Ribby Hall Village’s operations and keep up with customer expectations across the estate. Also, optimising online booking sales and table management is Zonal’s liveRES Table management system.

“This has been a game changer for us! We’ve made it easier for our guests to dine with us and charge their bill back to their room, even integrating our PMS package allocations. We can also collect data about their spending habits to provide our guests with bespoke offers and deals.

“Through Tables we can manage our table management far more effectively and optimise the number of covers without increasing our staff overheads.”

Ribby Hall Village’s eateries all have differing opening hours, and out of hours they were missing out on valuable bookings. liveRES has proved to be the ideal solution, giving functionality to engage with customers by sending reservation reminders and reducing the costly risk

of no-shows, plus the deposit functionality is helpful for managing larger groups.

“We are already seeing the benefits of liveRES and are planning to utilise its deposit functionality to ensure that the customer commits to the booking, as much as we do at Ribby to delivering the highest levels of service.”

Taking the customer experience to the next level, Ribby Hall Village has also introduced Zonal’s handheld, electronic order pad, iServe. With iServe orders can be taken quickly at the table, which directly feeds into EPoS, which in turn sends the order directly to the kitchen.

“During the high season, iServe has proved to be hugely effective for our teams who no longer have to run backwards and forwards to the till. They can focus on taking care of our guests and be confident they’ve delivered the correct order, minimising the risk of mistakes occurring.”

6 ways you can improve their productivity and wellbeing

S

acked any of your staff recently, or seen them leave? It’s likely you have – the hospitality industry sees an annual turnover of 30%, according the British Hospitality Association.

Maybe you got rid of them because they stunk at the job.

Or maybe they left because they didn’t like your working environment? This is particularly common with the younger people who make up a high proportion of hospitality staff.

But with recruitment now a nightmare, ask yourself this question:

Is this really the time to give up on my staff?

Added (the productivity measure) of £73bn.

Or is it time to have a rethink about how they work together - and how the working environment you provide is hitting their productivity and wellbeing?

That’s almost double what it was in 2008, and the BHA believes it could rise as high as £22bn by 2021, if the industry promotes the right conditions.

Productivity has historically been low in the hospitality industry – it’s said to run at about a third of the productivity in manufacturing.

So hospitality businesses are going in the right direction with their staff, and getting more in return – but there are still improvements to be made.

Luckily, the BHA says that productivity in hospitality and tourism is on the up.

It’s been rising since the economic downturn, rising to an estimated Gross Value

Why boosting productivity is hard for restaurants and bars The sheer variety of the UK’s hospitality businesses, the way they operate and the people they employ makes for a tricky mix when it comes to pushing productivity and wellbeing upward.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

So here are 6 ways to improve staff productivity and satisfaction in your restaurant.

22

1. Reduce tedious admin 2. Make time for training 3. Eliminate in-fighting 4. Swap your stick for a carrot 5. Grow your own leaders 6. Beat the cheats

Hospitality Technology 3. Eliminate in-fighting Are your front and back of house staff at loggerheads? It’s a common situation as the kitchen blames the servers for mistakes and vice versa, or as your finance staff criticise others for poor admin.

Teamwork is crucial to staff wellbeing and productivity in any business. It creates collaboration and innovation, and colleagues who become friends are happier and less likely to quit.

1. Reduce tedious tasks Duplicating head office functions in a restaurant group can drain your resources. It requires people in each location carrying out the same managerial tasks – such as creating operational reports.

It’s boring and repetitive work that does not add up to job satisfaction.

Restaurant management technology that’s accessible online can remove this need for duplication, with managers able to see data in realtime from any location.

The result? Resources can be directed to more necessary areas to keep operations flowing seamlessly – and your staff get to do more meaningful and satisfying work instead.

For your serving staff, provide hand-held devices (even tablets or smartphones) that allow orders to be taken at tableside and sent direct to the kitchen.

Help your team to bond by providing and environment where clear communication and great workflow remove the ambiguity and human error that cause unpleasantness.

Hospitality businesses can be guilty of creating immobile hierarchies where staff members have little opportunity to advance.

This drives ambitious workers to seek better jobs elsewhere, so try to set in place a clear structure that helps people understand how they can get ahead within your organisation.

Once again, training plays an important part – you and your managers should hold regular one-to-one sessions with staff where you look at their performance and discuss the steps that will help them develop.

6. Cheats to beat

4. Swap your stick for a carrot

Employee fraud costs UK businesses more than £40bn a year, and while that’s across all types of companies, hospitality takes quite a chunk of the hit.

Don’t leave all the carrots in the kitchen!

If you implement a system of monitoring individual staff performance you will be in a great position to hand out the recognition that drives excellence.

What’s often not taken into consideration is the detrimental effect cheating has on your team. Suspicion and distrust make for an uncomfortable working environment.

It will also help you identify areas where extra training is needed to keep everyone up to scratch.

5. Grow your own leaders

Your managers can’t have eyes everywhere all the time, and watching out for staff fraud is an exhausting task – unless you have technology that flags up unusual behaviours.

When recruiting, be sure to seek joiners who display positive attitudes and empathy – they are key skills for the industry and a good base for growing leadership talent.

This level of monitoring provides quite a deterrent, and helps builds up a high level of trust within the working environment where everyone can feel confident and comfortable.

Payment can be taken at tableside, too, so servers spend less time running back and forth and enjoy more valuable time interacting with guests.

Training has not always been a priority for many roles in the hospitality industry, but as the UK Hospitality Commission points out, that has led to a perception of the work as ‘low-paid, low-skilled.”

Investing in your staff so they improve their key skills, such as customer service, pays off directly by making your workers more able, but also helps to create a sense of engagement – a trained worker is a worker who feels valued.

Hospitality? It’s a people business, first and foremost.

So don’t give up on your staff. Give them a technological helping hand instead, and make recognition, development and training an inherent part of their daily lives.

Getting conditions right for your own people means they feel better, take

With such a unique building, we were keen to respect its heritage and carefully reconfigure the space in order to inject new energy into its walls and re-position the hotel as a premium, vibrant destination for dining, entertaining, meeting and celebrating within Worcester.”

Dishes currently on the menu include whipped White Lake goats cheese with heritage beetroot and pickled pear; Pressing of Old Spot ham with pea purée, focaccia crisp, gherkin and wholegrain mustard and a Welsh rump and shoulder of lamb with carrot textures, fondant potato & burnt shallot. Dishes are complemented by an extensive list of New and Old World wines, which is available to browse on iPads at the table allowing for more indepth descriptions and providing recommendations to diners based on food selection and taste.

The design of the new restaurant, located in the original nun’s dining room, showcases the original features of the 16th Century hall such as hand-carved wood panelling, arched stone windows and stained glass, blended seamlessly with modern furnishings such as sumptuous velvet booths, textured walls, statement lighting, framed bespoke photographs from the local area and bi-fold doors This renovation, representing opening onto a sun-trapped terrace. the first phase of development at the iconic Grade II listed abbey To complement the stylish yet following its acquisition by Hand relaxed interior, David has created Picked Hotels in 2017, took five a menu of modern British dishes months to complete.

Stanbrook Abbey’s General Manager Gordon Burniston commented, “We are delighted with the results of this renovation project which has seen Stanbrook Abbey transformed. Our new restaurant has opened up the ground floor space dramatically and is now a real destination in itself, plus, with the addition of a top-to-toe makeover of St Anne’s and 15 new bedrooms, we are thrilled to now offer local residents and guests visiting the region a reinvigorated community hotel which celebrates its rich heritage within the Worcestershire landscape.”

THE FOX DINING ROOMS ADDS HISTORY TO THE MENU New Surrey restaurant, The Fox dining rooms, is now firmly in the affections of diners following its successful spring opening.

W Hotelier & Hospitality Design

ith a new menu, focusing on locally-sourced ingredients and striking décor, the revamped venue has added an attractive new choice for Surrey residents and visitors.

26

Situated in the 19th-century Manor House at Foxhills Club & Resort, The Fox dining rooms is seen as a fitting tribute to the life of Charles James Fox, a local resident and charismatic politician of the late 18th century, from whom the club takes its name.

Fox enjoyed an influential political career, although much of his fame arose from his personal life as a bon viveur. But his love of indulgence, passion for good restaurants, wine and spending time

with friends, fits in well with the overall ethos at Foxhills. Expelled from Eton for being “too witty and a little too wicked”, the new dining experience adds a modern touch with a nod to his spirit.

The new restaurant combines glamour with a relaxed feel with three dining areas: the Terrace, the Music Room and the Orangery, and a beautiful patio overlooking the grounds. It’s also open throughout the day offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and a Sunday Carvery.

There is no let-up in the quality of the food on offer at Foxhills.

Under the guidance of head chef David Village – who is carving out a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming chefs – there is a twist on British classics, with a strong line-up of vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from and a children’s menu is also available.

Village said: “It’s been an exciting period with a brand new menu and it’s been fantastic to see the positive response to some of these amazing dishes. Some restaurants are just too formal and we didn’t want that here. Matej on service and Valente on meet-and-greet will put our guests at ease from the moment they arrive.

“It’s not brasserie, it’s not fine dining but it’s somewhere in the middle and that is the direction we wanted to take it.”

Alex Michaelis – an award-winning interior designer, known for his work at members’ clubs including, The Groucho and Soho House – was behind the refurbishment which has added a touch of glamour to the new look with the furnishings and décor.

Extex Alpine

Indoor comfort and style for outdoor living Alpine from Extex is a new range of outdoor fabrics with patterns inspired from geology.

Reflecting a softer colour palette of greys, browns and beige; the Alpine range is cool in tone but hardwearing. Alpine uses a polyolefin solution dyed yarn to ensure it stays colour fast to light and stain and mould resistant. Ideal for the outdoors and the harsh summer sun, Alpine fabrics share the all-weather durability that the range’s name reflects.

The Alpine ‘Strata’ pattern is made from a formation of irregular horizontal lines mirroring the natural rock formations from where the fabric draws its name.

Exuding qualities of longevity, Strata is a fabric that adds an element of chic and sophistication to any outdoor environment. The Alpine Strata colour palette is available in Jet, Limestone, Marble and Shale.

Alpine ‘Cairn’ is the perfect choice for an outdoor fabric as resilient as its name, Cairn is inspired by the mounds of stones used as landmarks which can be found on mountain tops across the globe. It is a fabric that makes you feel in touch with the wild highland countryside and as dependable and resistant to the natural elements. Alpine Cairn is available in four colours, Fossil, Granite, Pumice and Zinc.

The Alpine range looks as stylish in the garden as it does onboard a yacht, designed to embrace outdoor life with elegance, adding a luxurious look and feel to all of your outdoor fabric needs. The polyolefin dyeing process ensures every strand of the Alpine range is designed for life outdoors, ensuring it is sun, and stain resistant even before it is woven. Longevity and style combine to produce a fabric that will look good now and for years to come. Fully machine washable and 100% recyclable means Extex Alpine won’t impact the environment after its use and is the choice for the eco-conscious consumer.

Free samples of the Extex Alpine range along with all of their outdoor fabrics are available from the Extex website: www.extex.co.uk/en/order-samples or by calling 01634 718871 and quoting the sample name and colour.

A Twist on the Traditional

Summer Drinks What will be summer 2019’s winning drinks? Every venue will offer the traditional summer staples of beer, cider, rose… all great but how about offering something different, created to both refresh customers and offer your venue a point of difference – with great margin too! Mark Roberts from Lanchester Wines explains:

Port is traditionally made in the Douro region of Portugal, famed for its Mediterranean climate so, if you think about it, drinking Port as a refreshing summer drink makes perfect sense – you wouldn’t want a warming drink on a hot day.

If you’re unfamiliar with Port, it’s a fortified wine produced from grapes grown and processed in the Douro region which is located in the North of Portugal extending from the city of Porto to the eastern border. The wine produced is then fortified by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente to stop the fermentation, leaving residual sugar in the wine, and boosting the alcohol content (usually 19% or 20% ABV).

As with wine, there are vast variations on brands, qualities and prices so for ease, we’ll focus on colour – White Port, Ruby Port, Tawny Port and Rosé Port (technically a Ruby Port, Rosé Ports are fermented in a similar manner to a rosé wine, with a limited exposure to the grape skins, thus creating the Rosé colour).

Port is incredibly versatile. Most of us associate Port with the end of a meal served with a selection of fine cheeses however, it may also be served chilled as a delicious aperitif.

The traditional way is to pour equal parts white Port and tonic or soda water (or lemonade for a modern twist) in a cocktail glass and garnish with a slice of citrus (lemon, lime and orange are all good). Another super simple serve is to drink Port chilled straight up in a white wine glass or a short tumbler over ice.

Not only do these make for refreshing drinks, ‘Port + mixer’ is a great alternative to gin and tonic. And, as well as easy to make, margins are attractive with a ‘house’ bottle of Port available at around half the price of ‘house’ gin1.

For more information on Lanchester Wines’ Port and Wine selection, please visit www.lanchesterwines.co.uk 1 Based on bottle of Vista Alegre Port £9 vs Gordons Gin £19.

Both 70cl, inc VAT

Rosé Port Bramble Over crushed ice pour: 1 measure Rosé Port ½ measure sugar syrup 1 measure gin Fill with lemonade ½ measure lemon and garnish with juice summer fruits The beautiful colours in this cocktail make it perfect for Instagram!

White Port and Tonic AKA the classic Portuguese aperitif Over ice pour: 2 measure White Garnish with a slice Port of citrus – lemon, Top with tonic lime, orange or a (around ½ bottle per combination all work glass) really well If you’re not a fan of tonic, soda water or lemonade also make refreshing alternatives

Rosé Port Martini Serve in a chilled martini glass.

Strain and pour into a chilled cocktail glass

Add your own house twist by experimenting with white or ruby ports, or adding a dash of cranberry, rum or even mescal.

Chilled White Port over Ice A refreshing summery drink – chilled Ruby, Tawny or Rosé port are also great!

2 measures of your favourite port This is a lovely and refreshing drink as it is, or top with lemonade for an extra spritz

LEDVANCE unveils new Vintage luminaires in the Edition 1906 range

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Retro aesthetics combined with modern LED filament technology: Continuing the successful vintage design, the new LEDVANCE additions enhance the interior design of any environment including hotels, restaurants, lounges and shops.

38

The new luminaires in the 1906 series continue the idea of combining modern LED technology with retro design, this time referencing avantgarde styles of the 50s, 60s and 70s. The new luminaires have an E27 screw base and can be used with any suitable E27 lamp and blend very well with the attractive Edition in 1906 family of lamps from LEDVANCE with their LED filament technology, ideal for creating atmospheric lighting in any setting.

The Globe Glass family are available as ceiling, double-wall, floor and table versions. The Smoked Glass Globe luminaires with a diameter of 200mm or 300mm, provide a

wonderful setting for a wide variety of filament lamps from LEDVANCE. The aesthetic Cone Glass series are available as single, double or triple ceiling spotlights in smoked glass, as a ceiling luminaire in a smoked glass and an orange version, and as a floor-standing luminaire.

Models in the Pipe series have neither a shade nor a glass body.

The minimalist straight or artfully curved arms make them ideal for drawing attention to the attractive filament lamps. They are available as a classic table version, a floorstanding version, and in different designs each for five or six lamps.

The Carved Glass family are offered as pendant and ceiling luminaires, and are characterised by their highquality crystal cuts. They not only produce a cosy light but are distinct eye-catchers with retro charm. This also applies to the Jar version in smoked glass look or as an orange ceiling luminaire, and the Grape table model in a choice of smoked glass, orange, pink or green. With their elegant curves and finetextured, ribbed glass surface, each luminaire in the series will enhance the look of any room.

The models in the Bubble Glass family add two ceiling luminaires to the Vintage Edition 1906 series with diameters of 200mm and 300mm, available as impressive glass globes in smoked glass or orange. They go perfectly with the table luminaires in the series, creating strong accents in smoked glass, orange, pink or green.

The new luminaires are now available under the LEDVANCE brand from electrical wholesalers, many DIY stores and online.
