The Red Room Bar Windows

In 2019, Brian Clarke was approached to produce a programme of artworks for the Red Room at The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, designed by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio. Clarke produced watercolour studies, designs for silk wall hangings and a scheme that included six windows.

Clarke’s windows are the centrepiece of The Connaught’s new bar and the first architectural expression of the ‘Vespers’ series, which was exhibited in full at the time of the bar’s opening, within view of The Connaught at Phillips, Berkeley Square. The windows, fabricated by a team of craftsmen and women in Germany, were completed and installed in late 2020, with the bar opening to the public in September 2021.
