In the competitive world of the restaurant business, interior design is just as crucial as the menu. Customers are no longer looking for just an excellent gastronomic offering, but a memorable, multi-sensory experience. At Cerrajería Hermanos Marín, based in Mijas and serving the whole Costa del Sol, we are well aware of this shift and are passionate about bringing to life visions that transform commercial spaces into dream settings.
One of our most recent and iconic projects was the handcrafted manufacture of a bar bottle rack, custom-designed for a new restaurant in the area. This structural piece, made entirely from top-quality iron, stands out for being suspended from a reinforced anchor fixed directly to the ceiling of the establishment. This arrangement not only maximises the staff’s working space behind the bar, but visually elevates it, turning it into the architectural centrepiece of the venue.
Installation of the bottle rack, which had to be anchored to the ceiling of the establishment.
It was finished with baked enamel paint and wrapped in plastic protection to prevent scratching of the primer.
1920s Style: The Art Deco Touch
Inspired by the sophistication of 1920s speakeasies and grand restaurants, this bottle rack features a refined Art Deco style. Clean geometric lines, flawless symmetry and a design that balances the opulence of that golden era with cutting-edge modernity. The dark, polished iron finish creates a striking contrast with the internal lighting of the bottles, evoking a sophisticated, exclusive atmosphere.
Paired with the ambient lighting of the décor and the decorative mirrors, the final result is a sculptural structure with a dual decorative and functional purpose.
In addition to the bottle rack, a matching metal countertop was also made for the bar, in keeping with its aesthetic concept.
Iron in Commercial Decor: Strength and Distinction
Iron is often associated only with industrial or crude structural elements. However, this project shows that iron is one of the most versatile, elegant and noble materials for commercial decor. Its advantages for the hospitality sector are unmatched:
Timeless elegance: It brings character and a premium identity that is hard to achieve with prefabricated materials.
Extreme durability: It ensures the structure can safely bear the weight of dozens of bottles and glasses over the years, withstanding the intense daily hustle of a business without wear.
