Wilde Designs @ Archies

About the bar at Archies

The bar at Archies has a counter top made of ‘spalted’ beech sourced from Andrew Roberts’ sawmill at Trefnant, Denbighshire. Spalting arises through fungal attack and decay which creates interesting colours and patterns in the grain of the timber.

Five reclaimed cast iron grilles are incorporated in the front of the bar and the carcass is made of oak-veneered medium density fibreboard.

About Wilde Designs

Wilde Designs was set up in 2005 after Neil Wilde and his partner Sally decided a change in direction was needed. Up until that time Neil had always worked in wood, mainly undertaking shop fitting work for clothing stores across North Wales and in Chester and Manchester. In the first two years of business Neil has made everything from fully fitted bedrooms and kitchens to concept pieces for a local mass production furniture company. Neil and Sally also have a sales space in a larger shop at Llangollen from where they sell small pieces of furniture and lamps.
