Transforming IdleWild Bar in Dublin: A Nevill Group Graphic Vinyl Installation
At The Nevill Group, we’re known for turning creative ideas into reality, no matter the project size or location. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a distinctive and exciting project for SCID at IdleWild Bar in Dublin, Ireland. The task was to create and install a unique graphic vinyl design that would seamlessly blend with the bar’s tiled facade, adding both a local touch and a sense of elevated elegance to the space.
Here’s a closer look at how we brought this vision to life in record time, creating a stunning transformation for IdleWild Bar just in time for their grand opening.
The Design: A Local Touch with Class
One of the key elements of this project was ensuring that the design not only added a touch of sophistication to the space but also connected to the local community. We worked closely with a local artist to create a design that captured the essence of Dublin’s vibrant culture while complementing the bar’s overall aesthetic.
The design had to be subtle yet bold—something that would stand out, yet not overpower the existing decor. The idea was to use graphic vinyls in such a way that they appeared as though they had been hand-painted directly onto the tiles, offering a seamless look that would elevate the bar’s unique charm.
The Technical Challenge: Clear Conformable Film
To achieve this, we printed the design on clear conformable film—a material that adheres easily to curved surfaces and gives the illusion of a painted graphic without any visible edges. The transparent nature of the film allowed the tiles to show through the design, adding a sense of depth and texture, while the design itself blended perfectly with the surrounding space.
This choice of material also ensured that the graphics would not interfere with the texture of the tiles, making it seem as though the artwork was painted directly onto the surface. The result was a stunning, high-quality finish that added character and charm to the IdleWild Bar without compromising on the bar’s modern, sophisticated atmosphere.
Flying Across to Dublin: 24-Hour Installation Challenge
One of the most exciting aspects of this project was the quick turnaround. IdleWild Bar had a specific timeline in place for their grand opening, which meant that we had just 24 hours to fly from London to Dublin, apply the vinyls, and ensure everything was completed in time for the bar’s official opening.
With our team’s expertise and efficiency, we were able to work swiftly, ensuring that the vinyls were applied flawlessly and precisely in such a tight window. It was a race against time, but with a combination of experience, attention to detail, and dedication, we managed to complete the installation seamlessly.
Bringing It All Together
The result was a beautifully transformed IdleWild Bar that felt fresh, welcoming, and uniquely tied to Dublin’s local character. The design added a refined touch to the bar’s aesthetic, making the space feel both modern and rooted in its surroundings. The clear vinyls made it appear as though the designs were part of the tiles themselves, offering a high-end finish that would last for years to come.
At The Nevill Group, we love taking on challenges that push our creative boundaries. This project was a perfect example of how our team can adapt quickly, solve complex problems, and deliver exceptional results within a short time frame. From design to installation, we ensured that every detail was executed with precision, leaving IdleWild Bar with a stunning, bespoke design that felt completely aligned with its atmosphere.
