The o2 arena - AEG suite .
Our third project at The O2 arena centred around a luxury suite,
Commissioned by the owners of The O2, global sports and entertainment presenter AEG, this project marked the first time a suite within the arena had broken the traditional corporate mould and been refurbished to this standard. The private suite features an elegant bar and overlooks the main arena, allowing VIP guests to enjoy world class entertainment in complete comfort.

This three-week project at London's famous O2 Arena
The project required a fast turnaround while achieving the highest standard of finishes, with
a dark, luxurious aesthetic throughout. Lighting was carefully considered, with microphone inspired pendant lights suspended above the bar to reflect the entertainment theme and additional pendants set within ceiling mesh panels. Wall lights on a black mirrored glass feature wall reflect light around the space and enhance depth. Furniture and soft furnishings introduce subtle colour through dark green upholstery, navy cushions and mustard yellow armchairs.
White Coriantopped bar tables are finished with metallic brass edging to complement the
brass panelling on the bar and contrast with the furniture. A bespoke rear bar incorporates
a discreet drinks ledge to keep clutter out of sight and maintain a clean, refined appearance,
while a mesh brass panel across the front adds texture and a further touch of luxury.
The room is finished in a deep grey palette and features a large aerial photograph of The O2
as a focal point, flanked by acoustic panels to absorb sound from the main arena. Wood effect vinyl flooring in a herringbone pattern runs through most of the space, with sofas and armchairs set on a grey geometric patterned carpet to define the seating area and add comfort underfoot.
