KRICKET TVC
MATERIALS & FINISHES
The eat-at-kitchen counter has a polished
plaster finish, and topped with crème pardais
marble, with 18 leather- clad bar stools. The
semi-open kitchen bar sits opposite a run of
rattanwork two-seater booths, similar to Soho,
flanked by a blackened steel grille formed from
the eponymous looped Kricket ‘K’.
Kricket Soho’s Lavastone (“Pyrolave”) crackle-
glazed bar-top has been replicated, but
this time in a pastel mint-green hue on the
horseshoe shaped cocktail bar near reception.
The colour plays against the dark chocolate
timber fascia below, creating an ice cream cool
enticing mint-choc juxtaposition. The cocktail
bar stools are also reminiscent of Soho with the
Kricket ‘K’ engraved into the metal backrest.
But rather than antique brass and dusky pink,
as found at Soho, the stools are finished in
burnt bronze and cognac leather. The walls
surrounding the horseshoe bar feature a
specialist hand-finished aged plaster effect,
with burnished rose gold leaf accents.
