Paul Hodgkiss’ collaboration with Scott Hurst began in 1995 with the Monkey Bar on Sauchiehall Street and went on to shape some of Glasgow’s most iconic hospitality interiors. In the demanding world of bars and nightclubs, durability is essential, with furniture and surfaces enduring constant use. Paul’s choice of robust Scottish hardwoods, combined with his distinctive design style, proved the perfect solution.

The seaside setting near Turnberry was a major source of inspiration for Paul, who was commissioned to design the interiors of an expanding farm shop and visitor attraction.

After winning The Balvenie Artisan Award in 1995, Paul was invited to redesign the former whisky manager’s office into a space worthy of the Connoisseurs Tour.

Sculpted elm and glass screening in wave-like forms break up the open hall, creating intimate corners with fixed leather seating, warmth, and flow. Signature elm doors, mirrored wave reflections, and crafted wine racks complete the transformation, creating a tactile and natural space.

These early projects launched Paul Hodgkiss’s signature craftsmanship and organic design style into Glasgow’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene of the early 1990s.
