Raising the Bar

David Collins, United Designers, Martin Brudnizki, 3 of the biggest names in the commercial interiors sector, who, between them have designed some of the smartest bars and restaurants in London. You will almost certainly have been to at least one of them. Designer, Ian Haigh worked for them all before setting up his own business, Central Design Studio. With pedigree like that, it comes as no surprise, that he is winning the attentions of high profile clients such as Hilton Hotels & Jamie Oliver Restaurants. I met Ian on the 28th floor of the Hilton, Park Lane, where he has just completed the redesign of the bar at Galvin at Windows. Beautifully detailed in a palette of green, silver and gold, this elegant space will surely become  a hugely popular destination in its own right, with the added attraction of panoramic views across the city. Sadly there was no time for me to point my camera out of the window, so you'll just have to go and see it for yourself.
