Isabel’s: The Ultimate Contemporary Restaurant

The Brit award nominated DJ Nathan Dawe has opened his own contemporary restaurant in Burton, named Isabel’s as a tribute to his late nan. Establishing a sense of the city within the town, and bringing to life a brand new restaurant.

Designed by Copper & Ash, offering a lively and modern feel to the refurbished restaurant.

Luxury Marble Bar Tops

To add a real wow factor to the venue, Isabel’s opted for a classic marble bar top placed as a centre-piece within the restaurant.

They chose to use a classic Busy Carrata finish from Versital to add a fashionable touch. This bespoke marble bar top has become the feature point to the venue, enabling customers to sit at the bar watching whilst their drinks are created.

We combined luxury finishes with industrial, refined materials to create the juxtaposition between the two. Colourful planting is located throughout the venue keeping the space fresh while adding an element of ‘wow’ and a window frame system has been introduced to allow natural light in while adding an air of mystique to passers by. We played with a range of adjustable and layered lighting to enable the mood to be switched up depending on the time of day

Contemporary Design

Isabel’s oozes modern touches. The custom bright LED slogan ‘First we dine’ illuminates the restaurant in a vibrant shade of blue, whilst using abstract monochrome tiling on the flooring.

The creative team chose to echo the shape of the door arches throughout the venue with an interesting panelled wall feature.

Greenery was also an important element of the overall design, keeping the spade fresh. Planting has been used to great effect above the bar which compliments the pops of green on the wall panels and bar front.

Ideal for tables

Not only do Versital surfaces look good, it also comes with all the benefits you’d expect from cultured marble, being 100% waterproof and stain proof making it ideal for table tops as part of a busy restaurant. Versital has the additional benefit of the anti-bacterial protection of SteriTouch as part of all it’s surfaces.

Working in Partnership with Designers

As well as manufacturing to design specification we are also on hand to offer advice to designers to help create the vision they have whilst being a practical real-world solution. We often have designers who approach us with a brief and initial design who may need advice making it work in practice.

Our aim is to take the stress away from the designer and end client and work alongside other trades to get a good end result.

As well as being a beautiful marble finish it offers the benefits of being extremely hygienic, easy to clean and non-porous so will not stain.
