The Decorex 2025 Bar by Lucy Mayers of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler
This year’s central space for meeting, relaxation and reflection will be an unmissable collaboration with Lucy Mayers of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. The Decorex Bar will pay homage to Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler’s timeless elegance and renowned classic English appeal. Lucy Mayers explains:
“My inspiration for the Main Bar at Decorex 2025 is a rich autumnal Garden. This began as a practical consideration, a way to make the open space and high glass ceilings of Olympia feel more intimate. I felt if I could tent the space this would really help create an atmosphere; hanging tented ceilings and marquees to me conjure up liminal spaces, both indoor and outdoor but neither fully one nor the other. The fact that we use them to house celebrations from weddings to the village fete made this feel quintessentially British and ‘Country House’ and thus a nice fit with what Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler are more often known for. However, I wanted this to be a riff on that ‘English Garden’ and instead make an autumnal garden, as the smells and colours of autumn are more louche and decadent with their inherent suggestion of decay, which in turn implies a level of sophistication that felt more appropriate to me for a bar.”
The Decorex VIP Lounge by Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co
Tolu Adẹ̀kọ́ and the talented team at Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co. were tasked with creating the VIP Lounge at Decorex. The London-based studio will introduce Palomino – an extraordinary design concept inspired by the iconic Paris Olympia Hippodrome of 1886 and the mesmerising spectacle of Bertram Mills’ renowned circus, once staged at Olympia Kensington.
Drawing on deep historical reference, Palomino blends rich storytelling with contemporary innovation. A celebration of fine craftsmanship, the design is brought to life through a network of distinguished artisans from London, Paris, Milan, and New York. The result is a space that not only reimagines traditional circus grandeur but also challenges expectations with an immersive, multisensory experience.
With a commitment to redefining design boundaries, Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co. has ensured that Palomino is as much about the narrative as it is about the space itself. This is a design that invites conversation, ignites curiosity, and invites those within it to experience a world where the unexpected is not just welcomed but celebrated. Expect a new level of boldness. Expect Palomino.
Tolu Adẹ̀kọ́, Founder and Creative Director, Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co comments: “Designing the VIP Lounge for Decorex 2025 has been an opportunity to tell a story that’s both nostalgic and daring. With Palomino, we’ve drawn inspiration from the theatrical splendour of the Paris Olympia Hippodrome and the magic of Bertram Mills’ circus to create a space that surprises and seduces. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, imagination, and the power of collaboration. We want every guest who steps into the lounge to feel like they’ve entered a world where elegance and luxury meet the unexpected.”
