72 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
LIGHTING
Chantelle Lighting
Chantelle Lighting is renowned for providing
exquisite lighting to the hospitality sector and
Hotel Indigo, Durham, is no exception.
The stunning, Grade II 1890 listed building
boasts period features such as tiled marble
staircase, wood panelling and stained glass
windows.
Former home to the Durham City Council, a
circular debating chamber and lobby room has
remained and become the setting for the new
restaurant and cocktail bar.
Chantelle Lighting was commissioned to
provide lighting for the 100-cover Marco
Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill, in the
83-bed hotel.
The lighting needed to reflect the existing
features, creating a warm traditional feel
throughout, with a slight modern edge.
Taking pride of place above the restaurant
is a bespoke multi ring feature chandelier in
an antique finish with 48 individual pendant
drops and acrylic shades, handmade by
artisan craftsmen and women in Chantelle’s
Lancashire home.
