Integrating plumbing fittings and pipes into bar and restaurant decor
Introduction
The world of interior decoration is constantly evolving. Decoration is a vital aspect of creating an identity and a pleasant atmosphere imbued with authenticity, in a bar or restaurant. There's often a fine line between vintage and old-fashioned, contemporary and sanitised, or original and grotesque. Inspired by the raw aesthetics of industrial decorating, where pipes are often left visible, these elements have managed to reinvent themselves and blend harmoniously into a variety of interior designs. Plumbing fittings and pipes are versatile and can now be easily integrated into most decorations, even those far removed from the industrial style.
The Industrial Legacy
Industrial decor is inspired by workshops, factories, and spaces that recall a time when functionality was paramount. So the use of plumbing pipes in this context is much more than just a fashion statement; it evokes a history, a heritage, a certain kind of authenticity. The elements we offer are not imitations, they are not "in the industrial style", they are real, authentic pieces of plumbing with their faults that make each fitting unique.
