Manchester’s The Crafty Pig unveiled

By James Russell: Manchester’s The Crafty Pig unveiled

November 24, 2014

A leading North West architecture and interior design practice has revealed its creative direction of a new Manchester-based bar and kitchen, The Crafty Pig.

Assigned by Enterprise Inns, DV8 Designs was responsible for the quirky overhaul of the Northern Quarter’s newest addition, with MD Lee Birchall and his team at DV8 carrying out a series of architectural and interior developments, in order to create an original design that plays homage to the venue’s sister brand, The Blind Pig.

Lee said: “The objective was to produce a welcoming urban hub that echoes the attributes of The Blind Pig, whilst adding in signature characteristics to make the new site stand out from the crowd.

“After drawing up inspiration surrounding graffiti artwork from across the globe, we enlisted the help of the award winning local artist/illustrator Ben Tallon to incorporate street style into the design. To reflect the industrial feel throughout the venue, we used earthy colour palates combined with a multitude of distressed decorative elements.”

Lee added: “We are extremely grateful to have been invited by Enterprise Inns to develop proposals for a series of eclectic projects. As every design is unique and personal, we are very much looking forward to coming up with a range of creative strategies that will bring ideas to life.”
