DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
Food and drinks make the perfect foundations for a bar and restaurant atmosphere . Therefore , the interior design and décor of the environment should never be underestimated . Bocca Social desired to create a flawless ambience for its guests , whether they wanted to tuck into a tasty Italian dish or sip on signature , crafty cocktails with friends .
It ’ s key for every hospitality venue to have highquality accessories to reflect its concept and offering , and this is exactly what Bocca Social has achieved . The aesthetically pleasing Beckenhambased Italian bar and restaurant boasts an eyecatching floral wall , plush pink furnishings and striking brass vintage lights , which when combined with the stand-out food and drinks , generates a seamless , enhanced experience for patrons .

Lighting was an essential element to set the tone and mood of the establishment . Bocca Social opted for a selection of uniquely handcrafted vintage-style lights from Industville , which work in harmony with the beautiful pastel colour scheme and exposed brick walls to create an industrial haven . “ Lighting has the ability to determine whether a customer has a positive experience and how long they decide to spend there – more importantly , determining whether they become a regular patron ,” explains Natalia Georgiadou , marketing communications manager for Industville . “ The secret to good lighting is having the option of a dimmer . This enables venues to adjust the lighting throughout the day to suit each type of guest and occasion . For example , dimmer lighting in the bar area in the evenings contrast against brighter lights for lunchtime gettogethers .”
