SOYO Bar, Sheffield

Type of works: supply and installation of tactile wall tiles.

The stunning tactile wall tile collection from British Ceramic Tile has been used in a £1 million bar development in Sheffield’s City centre to create a designer look in this lifestyle drinking venue. SOYO is one of the latest late night bars to embrace Sheffield’s ever-evolving nightlife in the thriving Devonshire Quarter of the City centre.

Located within the historical Methodist Church on Rockingham Street, the trendy interior mixes grand tradition of a religious setting with modern style.

British Ceramic Tile’s tactile collection of wall tiles, designed by leading British design team Studio Conran, has been specified in the washroom areas. The Hartland flat-finish, gloss wall tile in White, Black and Metallic was chosen for its contemporary look and designer feel.

Nick Firth of Nick Firth Tiles Ltd, Sheffield comments, “This is a lively bar with a smart interior and we chose British Ceramic Tile’s Hartland collection because of the luxurious look it creates. The metallic finish combined with the White and Black tiles creates a sophisticated finish and reflects the lighting of the area.” Fixed to the walls, wash basin fronts and surrounds, the Hartland tiles also provide for easy cleaning of the amenities.
