Case study: Giraffe, Bath

The Giraffe restaurant in Bath is "inspired by New York’s clubby coffee shops and restaurants", so what better tile to use in the décor than H&E Smith's bevelled Metro.

In the bar area, classic white tiles, reminiscent of NYC's subway, were coupled with stripes of sunshine yellow reflecting the Giraffe brand's bright and fun personality. Porcelain floor tiles in more subtle tones of grey and yellow created a distinguished, chequer-board bar zone, complimenting the wall tiles.

The result was a stunning, central bar area at the heart of the restaurant.
