“The central concept of 1862 Cocktail Bar is to pay tribute to Bacardi Limited’s legacy,” says Barnett. “My custom-everything style, layers of inspiration from the Bacardi archives, and because Planning Factory Bermuda is also a family company, I was able to build the branded space and lead our team to the LOOP Design Award win!”

- Portrait wall of Bacardi Founding Fathers flanked by rotating artifact installations
- The Bacardi signature in wood inlay and metallic embroidery
- Bacardi bat devices include railing finals and purse hooks
