NEW YORK GASTROPUB
Interior Design
Opening date: June 20th 2012 ( first day of summer)

An Irish Bar & Restaurant decorated in the upper east side of Manhattan, New York City. With the distinct characteristic of gastropub inspirations in mind, the owners old train car design ambitions & a correlation with four other sister bars ( The Wren, Wilfie & Nel, Sweet Afton & Bua) I was able to create a place setting

reminiscent of the early century post industrial revolution. Haunting vintage portraits, old machinery, weathered wood furniture, gold leaf, tiny white tiles, aged leather & course toile print fabrics, tarnished brass, delicate glass, hand-painted signs, hints of cotton plant, wheat & lavender stock the bar is like sitting within a decorated set itself.

Furniture, lighting & accessories mostly old vintage found all over New York state & USA, custom made curtains, pillows, upholstery, concrete bar, tables, tile work, signage, salvaged boards interior for bar, walls, ceiling & floors, custom designed plant arrangements & windows.

Opened on 2nd avenue between 82nd & 83rd in New York City, the bar name resembles a train station in Cork, Ireland. Train inspirations also relevant to the new subway station opening directly in front of the Penrose location in the UES.
