North Pole Bar

– The Brief

To create a pop-up temporary winter bar in the heart of Manchester outside the Urbis.

– Our Approach

2009 - Using weather balloons, drapes and a PVC white bar along side dramatic lighting and colour washes we created a temporary space suitable with the theme of the event.

2010 - To create an interesting and intriguing pop up winter space, for people to eat drink and be merry. The space had to suit a variety of functions and appeal to a wide audience whilst being humorous. The snug area boasted vintage chesterfields, antler inspired chandeliers and digital fire places, whilst Bar Humbug was turned into a Victorian street scene complete with lamp posts and snow. The chalet offered a more communal seating area and was adorned with traditional ski's and snow shoes and suspended lanterns to light the way.
