Opera Bingo, a new club in Barrow-in-Furness, needed an energetic bar space to give a contemporary, fresh approach to bingo that would attract customers of all ages. Altro Ensemble was chosen for the club’s book sales counter, corridors, and in a herringbone pattern in three shades to create a unique look for the bar area.

Emily East, Interior Designer for the project, commented “The Altro Ensemble colour options worked well in this format, complementing the other interior finishes. The overall effect is a wonderfully rich and contrasting pattern that is beautiful to look at; adding a superb quality feel. It makes a fantastic first impression.

“The feedback from staff and customers has been fantastic. They love the new club and there is a wonderful buzz here. The design and feel we have created is a million miles away from the ‘traditional’ bingo club, and we are thrilled with it.”

Daryl Davidson, Head of Operations and Finance for Opera Bingo, says: “Altro Ensemble is fitted in the club’s high traffic areas, and it will stay looking good for many years to come. It’s comfortable to walk on, too, very easy on the feet and the cleaning staff are delighted with how easy it is to maintain. I would certainly recommend the flooring to anyone who is looking for beautiful, chic, comfortable and practical.”

The project has scooped an Altro Design Recognition Award. Dave Ford, Altro’s Specifications Manager – North, said “The effect of this design is modern, striking and dynamic.”
