On a cold November day in Liverpool, beautiful American socialite and actress Olivia Palermo cut the ribbon to open a ground-breaking new pampering destination Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols. Based within the heart of shopping destination Liverpool ONE, Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols is 22,000 square feet over three floors entirely devoted to preening, luxury make-up and beauty treatments including teeth whitening, tanning and waxing.The incredible cutting-edge interior of the new concept store, including the exclusive first floor WOW Champagne Bar, was designed by leading London-based interior and graphic design agency FOUR IV. Bar stools and side chairs for the first floor WOW Champagne Bar were supplied by contract furniture specialist Andy Thornton.

Startlingly, brilliantly, dazzlingly white, our side chairs are dotted throughout the champagne bar, where customers can relax after their pampering treatments and enjoy a bite to eat, with cocktails and endless glasses of champagne. With a practical vinyl finish, the chairs feature contrasting electric blue piping and dark stained timber sleek legs, to complement the ultra-glamorous interior.

Matching Andy Thornton bar stools are also in bright white, with angular bases in sleek stainless steel and neat footrests for extra comfort. Positioned around the bar, the bar stools are perfectly situated for customers enjoying post-treatment light bites and drinks. We also supplied gold consultation stools to the Nails Inc Champagne Bar, pedicure and lash stools in electric blue and silver, reception stools in cream to the spa arrivals area and a treatment room pouffe in cream with gold rope detail.

The finished result is stunning; a luxurious and timeless mix of shades of gold, white and cream, with flashes of a rich, electric blue provided by cushions and detail on the chairs, making the WOW Champagne Bar a beautiful place to be, and be beautiful.

Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols in Liverpool touts itself as an all-day experience, the ultimate in high-end indulgence taking pampering to a whole new level.
