Designer and manufacturer of fitted furniture Daval Furniture has been commissioned by former England rugby captain, Dylan Hartley, to design and install a bespoke furniture scheme for his private suite at the world-famous Allianz Stadium in Twickenham. James Bodsworth, creative director at Daval, is working directly with Dylan Hartley on this unique design project, helping to create a tailormade, custom bar and entertaining area for the corporate suite, which will be used to host VIP guests on match days.
James Bodsworth said: “Twickenham is revered as the home of English rugby and as a brand steeped in our own British heritage, we couldn’t be more pleased to offer our support and design expertise. In fact, Dylan has given us free rein to design a space that is both modern yet classic and provides comfortable and luxurious surroundings for him to enjoy with his guests on match days.
"With this in mind, we are working on an exciting scheme centred around a made-to-measure bar using our Lugano Boston Oak cabinetry. This is complemented by a raised bench with integrated seating,which is designed to offer a direct view of the pitch. We have also partnered with Little Greene paint and Hendel & Hendel handles on this project, to ensure that our furniture is both stylish and durable.”
Simon Bodsworth, MD at Daval, added: “We are thrilled to be selected for such a prestigious venue by Dylan Hartley, someone I have admired in sport for many years. To be able to play our part in helping more people enjoy the very best in hospitality at such a great sporting institution is very exciting for the brand.”
