IN THE MOOD
To enhance the intimate, semi-industrial look of the new Spice Paragon
restaurant and Khao-San Road bar, surfaces were painted in Resene Black

In the hospitality industry, atmosphere is
everything – it sets the mood, creates the right vibe,
and reinforces branding.
Callum Pankhurst of Crafted, the designer
of the Spice Paragon restaurant and Khao-San
Road bar in the new building at 76-78 Victoria St,
Christchurch, specified walls and ceilings painted
in Resene Black to reinforce a raw, semi-industrial
aesthetic.
Resene Black, described as an ebonised lamp
black, creates a dramatic backdrop to the bar, and
is a bold contrast to the distressed grade red beech
furniture and floorboards. It also works well with
the dark grey of the stone floor tiles and the steel
furniture and screens.
Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen was the paint
used for the project. This paint and Resene Zylone
Sheen are both recommended for broadwall areas
in both commercial and residential interiors.
The paints can be complemented by trims and
joinery in Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel, and coloured ceilings in Resene
SpaceCote Flat. These are all waterborne paints
that are low-odour, low-VOC and Environmental
Choice-approved.
Available in thousands of colours from the
Resene Total Colour System, the paints are tinted
using Resene non-VOC tinters.
