Bespoke RIB parasols for Claridge's Champagne Bar

6 Aug 2019

These Unique RIB® bespoke parasol canopies at Claridge's Champagne Bar in Brook Street, Mayfair look, at first glance, just like normal commercial parasols, but that is an illusion. These are actually bespoke awnings created by our design team and manufactured in-house using our very own RIB® awning construction method. This has produced  a rigid structure which required no fixings to the listed building substrate and which are suitable for use even when a conventional parasol would have been retracted. Of special note is the silver Claridge's branding applied with a new non-tarnish process developed within our RAGS® bespoke graphics technology.  Awning system solutions are a trademark of Morco and we pride ourselves on being able to design, construct and install awning solutions which are unique to us and available nowhere else. The result you can see covers the entire Brook Street enclosed dining area and offers guests the unique experience of an outside ambience within an intimate area enclosed by the awnings and a soft foliage perimeter.

Claridge's is a five start hotel and restaurant which was founded in 1812 as Mivart's Hotel. In 1854, the founder (the father of biologist St. George Jackson Mivart) sold the hotel to a Mr and Mrs Claridge, who owned a smaller hotel next door. They combined the two operations, and after becoming for a time "Mivart's at Claridge's", they decided on the current famous name. The reputation of the hotel was endorsed in 1860 when Empress Eugenie made an extended visit and entertained Queen Victoria at the hotel.
