Black Iron Social at the Gresham Hotel

This stylish new restaurant and bar set on the ground floor of the Gresham hotel offers guests a fresh dining experience in a relaxed city location. Following Black Iron Social’s request for a lush and tropical large leaf planting landscape Bright Green devised an impactful hanging scheme that would have wow factor whilst preserving valuable floorspace.  

 Twenty metal hanging baskets were filled with moss and encircled with tropical style; fire rated artificial foliage. Large artificial caladium and calidora leaves, grasses, ferns and palms gave a variety of textures and tones to these hanging baskets. These eye-catching spherical displays were suspended above the bar and seating area adding a zesty burst of colour to the venue. 

 In addition to the hanging baskets the team built a high-level display to run across the back of the bar featuring the same tropical foliage. The horizontal display draws the eye upwards to appreciate the full aspect of the space whilst softening the hard interior lines.  

 This contemporary artificial planting scheme makes a bold statement, ensuring Black Iron Social will stand out from the competition. Creating a vibrant green impression in a space where live planting would have struggled to survive.
