SoluS CeramiCS SeTS The BAR high AT Be AT One Leading tile supplier, Solus Ceramics, has added a touch of class to the new Be At One cocktail bar in Birmingham with the installation of its Opulence and Program floor and wall tile ranges. Founded by bartenders Steve Locke, Rhys Oldfield and Leigh Miller, the first original Be At One Bar opened in Battersea Rise in 1998. Since then they have created 30 bars around the UK, with Birmingham being the 31st site. Located on Piccadilly Arcade, just outside of the newly revitalised New Street Station, Be At One is a destination cocktail bar serving over 150 drinks with an unbeatable party atmosphere in the heart of Birmingham city centre. Fusion Design and Architecture who have worked with the brand for eight years and developed many of the bars within the renowned chain designed the late night venue. Solus Ceramics were thrilled once again to collaborate with Fusion Design and Architecture and supplied a variety of unique exciting tile ranges to the bright, bold and energetic bar. The venue, which is situated at basement level, features a vast quantity of traditional style tiles from the Opulence range. The neutral, gloss tiles from the Opulence Range were selected in two sizes to create a chic banded pattern and were paired with a detailed complementary décor tile. The neutral hues of the tiles provide a wonderful canvas for the complex mood lighting that changes periodically.
