Five-star carpet for Ireland’s only two-star Michelin restaurant
High quality 10-row bespoke woven carpet from Wilton Carpets Commercial has been fitted throughout the dining area and stairway of Ireland’s finest restaurant at Dublin’s Merrion Hotel.
Client Brief
The Merrion Hotel’s Georgian period interior has undergone extensive restoration using traditional techniques and has been cited as one of the most successful developments in Dublin of recent years. As part of this refurbishment, the original carpet in the hotel’s Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud was replaced.
Creative Approach
A faithful reproduction of designer Stephen Harper’s original creation, the bespoke woven axminster carpet juxtaposes with an eclectic collection of art from some of Ireland’s most celebrated artists. Fitted throughout the dining area and stairwell leading to it, the new carpet provides the venue with a dynamic design that flows through the space in a bold and stunning purple, red, gold and taupe colourway. The result is a carpet that lends a stunning ambience to one of Ireland’s finest culinary venues.
