Baccarat at Harrods, Knightsbridge

Commissioned by: Baccarat
Guildprime were chosen for this detailed design development project at Baccarat. This project had various elements to think about when carrying out the manufacture and installation of materials.

The project involved work of the following:
Design development of bespoke items of joinery, which incorporated low iron glass, mirror polished stainless steel and ‘’leathered brown granite”.
Setting three perimeter wall displays into the existing wall structure. Each display consists of wall panelling and draw systems constructed from Macassar ebony veneered boards.
Within each display area there were a number of mirror finished stainless steel shelves with glass inserts, each with their own LED lighting system.
Designing the cabinets to display lead crystal glass in the form of lamp fittings and glass ornaments.
For the main display area, Guildprime constructed various display cubes in leathered brown granite & Macassar ebony.
Lids for the cubes were manufactured from etched mirror or Macassar Ebony. The cubes were constructed for the display of glass ornaments and small lamps.
Installation of mirror finished stainless steel and glass tanks, illuminated by LED lights.
The units have a combination of Macassar veneered panels, etched glass and suede coverings; each unit is in a standalone format or in a combined formation with either granite or Macassar display cubes.

Challenges
The manufacture of all the materials mentioned above were inspired by the drawings supplied by Architecture at Large. This meant Guildprime and the designers had to have close communication and collaboration throughout the whole process.

Outcome
The collaborative nature of this project provided Guildprime the chance to learn and grow, and as a result we were able to deliver a beautiful end result that the client was extremely happy with.
