What a night! This month, we were thrilled to host our summer”Beer and Bubbles” event in Manchester, raising a glass to summer with our vibrant northern design community. It was an evening brimming with great company, innovative lighting solutions, and lively conversations, all held within the fantastic showroom we share with Tsunami Axis.

We welcomed a diverse mix of lighting designers, architects, and interior designers, creating the perfect atmosphere for networking and exploring Atrium’s cutting-edge solutions.

Guests had the chance to peruse dedicated stations featuring information, catalogues, finishes, and samples from a selection of our esteemed partner brands. We also provided insightful demonstrations, offering a deeper dive into the technology behind our offerings.

Attendees were particularly captivated by the new Pixi fitting from alphaLED. The innovative design and capabilities of Pixi generated significant buzz and discussion. Another major draw was the opportunity to explore the groundbreaking technology behind Fluxwerx’s innovative View and Aperture luminaires, showcasing their commitment to advanced lighting design. The enthusiasm for these advanced solutions underscored the design community’s keen interest in staying at the forefront of lighting innovation. It was a true pleasure to see so many professionals engaging with the technology and envisioning how it could elevate their future projects.

It was brilliant to see everyone connecting, networking, and exploring our latest lighting solutions. The energy in the room was palpable, with lively conversations and engaging discussions taking place throughout the evening. We believe that fostering these connections is crucial for the growth and innovation within the design industry. Events like these provide invaluable opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and collaboration, ultimately leading to more inspired and successful projects across the North.

We were also thrilled to have the Mondiale team join us, providing the latest copies of the darc magazines. Their presence added another layer of valuable resources for our guests, offering insights into global lighting trends and groundbreaking projects. We know how important it is for designers to stay informed and inspired, and the Mondiale magazines are an excellent resource for achieving just that. The ability for our guests to pick up these leading publications on-site added significant value to their experience, making the evening not only a networking opportunity but also a chance for professional development.

The evening was a resounding success, and it was truly inspiring to witness such a strong sense of community and passion for design. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing their appreciation for the relaxed yet informative atmosphere. This event truly highlighted the vibrant spirit and collaborative nature of the northern design scene. We saw new connections being forged and existing relationships strengthened, all within a fantastic environment that celebrated both design and camaraderie.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and made our first Manchester “Beer and Bubbles” such a fantastic event. Your enthusiasm and engagement are what make these gatherings so special. We’re already buzzing with ideas for our next event and can’t wait to do it again! Keep an eye out for future invitations, as we plan to continue providing valuable networking and educational opportunities for the design community in the North. Our aim is to consistently offer a platform where ideas can flourish, collaborations can begin, and the future of design can be shaped.
