Australian furnishings brand Art Hide recently created its second installation at the Sentinel Bar and Grill in Perth. The unique application of cowhide in an outside dining area added warmth and texture to the space, using natural hides in varying shades of colour.

Sentinel’s first installation of a 20 square metre natural cowhide interior wall hanging complements and balances the extensive use of jarrah inside the restaurant. Sentinel loved it so much they used the Art Hide piece as a visual centrepiece of the restaurant’s branding and commissioned a second piece.

Art Hide collaborates with architects and interior designers to apply cowhide in new ways to commercial, residential and hospitality environments. Art Hide’s natural, dyed and lasered designs can be used for wall cladding, wrapped panels, banquette seating or upholstery.

“The distinctive textures and colours of Art Hide make for a unique, durable and surprisingly versatile finish which injects a sense of warmth and luxury into any environment,” says Art Hide founding director Kura Perkins. “Cowhide is also superb for acoustics management which is often a problem in public venues.”
