Harry’s Bar, Essex

Project Overview

As part of a carefully considered interior enhancement, Harry’s Bar in Billericay appointed Sorrells to design and craft a single, bespoke wine wall, intended to act as both a functional display and a refined architectural feature within the venue’s main service area.

Positioned as a central display within the restaurant, the wine offers much requested storage, along with a grand visual display. The joinery is constructed from a pairing of solid ash and oiled black walnut, a material combination chosen to introduce warmth, contrast, and textural depth.

Designed to feel embedded in the interiors of the venue, the installation balances everyday practicality with thoughtful detailing, demonstrating how bespoke wine display can quietly enhance a hospitality environment without overpowering it.
