If you’ve visited Olive Brixham on the waterfront at Brixham Harbour, there’s a good chance you’ll have noticed the lighting.
Located at 3 King Street, Brixham, Devon, Olive is a Mediterranean-style kitchen and wine bar with a bold, colourful interior overlooking the harbour. One of the biggest features of the restaurant is its dramatic collection of large amber glass chandeliers.
And if you’ve been wondering where the chandeliers at Olive Brixham are from, you’ve found them.
Made up of rows of warm amber glass, the design creates a strong architectural feature without feeling too formal. Once illuminated, the glass gives off a rich golden-orange glow, which works particularly well against darker walls, patterned ceilings and colourful interiors.
At Olive Brixham, several of the chandeliers have been installed throughout the restaurant, creating a consistent look across the dining areas.
They work particularly well in:
Restaurants and wine bars
Hotels
Large dining rooms
Kitchen islands
Entrance halls
Bars and hospitality interiors
Retail and commercial spaces
A Chandelier Made for Large Spaces
This isn’t really a chandelier designed to disappear quietly into a room.
Its scale and shape make it a proper statement light.
The rectangular construction also means it works particularly well above long dining tables, bars and kitchen islands, where a traditional round chandelier can sometimes look out of proportion.
The amber glass brings warmth into the room, while the repeated hanging glass elements give it a slightly retro feel without making the design look dated.
It works with Art Deco, mid-century, eclectic and contemporary interiors surprisingly well.
Olive Brixham Interior
The interior at Olive is a particularly good example of how these chandeliers can be used.
The restaurant combines deep green and teal seating, floral patterned walls, decorative ceilings, warm leather banquette seating and large statement lighting.
The result is colourful and theatrical without becoming overly formal.
The chandeliers are probably one of the first things you notice when you walk inside.
During the daytime, natural light from Brixham Harbour fills the restaurant, while in the evening the amber glass lighting completely changes the atmosphere of the room.
Seen a Chandelier in a Restaurant You Love?
Restaurant and hotel interiors are often some of the best places to discover unusual furniture and lighting.
The problem is that finding the exact piece afterwards can be difficult.
People regularly search for things such as:
“Where are the lights from at this restaurant?”
or
“Where can I buy the chandelier I saw in a hotel?”
In this case, the answer is simple.
If you’ve seen the large amber glass chandeliers inside Olive Brixham, the same chandelier design is available through Smithers.
