A Historic Revival by Forest Contract: Kellas Bar & Restaurant
Forest Contract, a UK-based furniture manufacturer specialising in commercial-grade furnishings for the hospitality industry, recently had the privilege of contributing to the restoration of the beloved Manxonia House: Kellas Bar & Restaurant.
Located in the heart of Port St Mary, Kellas is the revitalized Manxonia House, a historic building steeped in local history. The venue’s owner Becki and her colleague Amanda embarked on a mission to restore the building’s original charm while creating a modern, inviting space for the community.
Forest Contract played a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life. The company’s team, led by dedicated account manager Chris, worked closely with Becki, Amanda, and their Interior Designers Cubbin & Bregazzi, to select and customise furniture pieces that would complement the building’s historic character and the desired ambiance.
The initial consultation, held at Forest Contract’s showroom, involved discussions about the project’s scope, style, and specific requirements. Becki and Amanda shared their vision for the space, emphasizing the importance of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that would appeal to both locals and tourists.
Subsequent meetings and correspondence allowed for the fine-tuning of product specifications, quantities, and delivery timelines. Forest Contract’s team worked diligently to ensure that the furniture would not only meet the functional needs of the space but also enhance its aesthetic appeal.
The project involved furnishing multiple spaces within Kellas, including the café, bar, restaurant, function room, and garden area. Forest supplied a range of products, including the elegant Elizabeth chair, the sleek Epsom side chair, and the timeless buttoned Manor chair. These pieces, carefully selected and customized to suit the specific needs of each space, have contributed to the overall aesthetic and functionality of the venue.
For the café and team room, Forest provided comfortable and durable seating options, including upholstered chairs and benches. These pieces were designed to withstand heavy use while maintaining their style and elegance. In the bar area, the focus was on creating a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. Forest supplied stylish chairs and tables, perfect for dining and drinks.
The restaurant required a mix of seating options, including comfortable banquettes, stylish dining chairs, and versatile tables. Forest’s team worked closely with the interior designer to select pieces that would complement the overall design scheme and create a welcoming ambiance. The function room was designed to be flexible and adaptable, able to accommodate a variety of events. Forest provided a range of seating options, including chairs, and tables, that could be easily rearranged to suit different layouts.
The garden area, both indoor and outdoor, was designed to be a tranquil oasis. Forest supplied durable outdoor seating, including benches, chairs, and coffee tables, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air.
The finished space offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation, socialising, and dining. The carefully chosen furniture not only enhances the visual appeal of the venue but also provides comfort and durability, ensuring a pleasant experience for all visitors.
By collaborating with Forest Contract, Kellas Bar & Restaurant has successfully transformed a historic building into a thriving hub for the local community. The project showcases the power of design and craftsmanship to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
The successful completion of the Kellas project further solidifies Forest Contract’s reputation as a leading provider of high-quality commercial furniture. The company’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction has enabled them to deliver exceptional results for clients across the hospitality industry.
