Here are some photographs of the beautiful Banks on the Wear, which 20.20 completed on behalf of Sunderland AFC, within the Stadium of Light.

Inspired by the history of the City, including shipbuilding, coalmining and glassworks and the interiors speak to this heritage. The team learnt of pocketbooks and tokens, industrial-scale ship building, the terrain of the area and of course, the history of the club and the key people.

Refining Excellence at The Chairman’s Club

As the Official Hospitality Fit-Out Supplier of Manchester City, Dawnvale were entrusted with enhancing one of the club’s most prestigious hospitality spaces, The Chairman’s Club.

In a venue already defined by exceptional design, many would be satisfied to let the space stand the test of time. But Manchester City continues to push boundaries, constantly striving to elevate the guest experience.

To improve both aesthetics and functionality, we introduced fully bespoke wardrobes to discreetly store guest jackets and personal items, keeping the environment uncluttered and comfortable.

Open-backed display shelving was incorporated to enrich the visual appeal while adding subtle privacy for VIP guests, all without compromising the open, luxurious feel of the suite. This complemented the installation of a new mobile meet-and-greet pedestal, creating a refined welcome point for arriving guests.

A key focus of the refurbishment was enhancing fan experience and theatre. We achieved this with a new cocktail dispense bar and a theatre-style kitchen, each uniquely designed to nestle beneath the stadium bowl’s sloped ceiling. These bespoke features form a dynamic and functional hub that seamlessly supports service alongside the main kitchen and bar.

We also introduced mobile banquette seating in the entrance foyer to create a dedicated walkway for VIP matchday guests, while still offering practical seating for season ticket holders. Each seating row can be split and repositioned on concealed castors, enabling the space to adapt effortlessly for non-matchday events, supporting C&E.

All works were completed within an impressive two-week window ahead of the season launch, with zero disruption to day-to-day operations. Every detail was meticulously considered to deliver a harmonious balance of style, functionality, and adaptability, setting a new benchmark for premium hospitality experiences.
