1885 Lounge at St Mary's Stadium celebrates Southampton FC's history

By Lauren Heath-Jones    31 Mar 2020
Rainbow Design worked closely with KSS Architects to ensure the furniture matched the design vision

KSS Architects has partnered with Rainbow Design, a London-based furniture supplier, to create the 1885 Lounge at St Mary's Stadium, home to Southampton FC.

The pitch-side lounge, designed by KSS, offers a relaxed experience for guests centred on flexible dining. It features a lounge and bar area with full height glazing, so guests don't miss any of the on-pitch action, and incorporates historical memorabilia and artefacts, celebrating the club's rich heritage, as well as Southampton's naval history.

"The concept of this pitch lounge was to celebrate the first two decades of the club since it was founded in 1885, a very specific time frame, which gave us some fantastical historical moments to look at. There was so much depth that we could use made it very interesting overall," said Claire Wilson, senior interior designer at KSS.

Rainbow supplied all of the furniture for the lounge, and worked closely with KSS to ensure all the products not only matched the design vision for the space, but would stand up to the rigours of a match day hospitality experience
.
"There is something really special about working with stadiums, the idea of adding to an already exciting experience is fantastic," said Rainbow MD Tony Antoniou.

"Our successful move into hospitality has been a real breath of fresh air for Rainbow. It has allowed us to work with architects and designers in spaces that have different needs, tend to be more exciting and allow us to use more interesting products and solutions."
