Foundry — Bar Fit-out

A statement bar counter, back-bar and stools for a high-volume industrial-style venue.

Raw steel bar counter and stools in an industrial venue

Foundry wanted the bar itself to be the room’s hero — raw, honest steel that would wear in rather than wear out. We built an 8-metre counter, back-bar shelving and a run of stools, all detailed to take years of abuse and still look intentional.

The steel was sealed rather than painted so it develops a patina, and the stool frames were powder-coated for grip and comfort where hands and feet land.

Outcome

A hard-wearing centrepiece that has become the venue's signature.
