Due to its translucent properties Onyx was chosen as the stone for the surface counter and elevated bar. Lighting was installed under the surfaces so that when lighted the entire bar and counter surface would be illuminated. The beautiful textures of the stone are seen as the light penetrates the onyx giving forth the impression of a sea of light. 
A strong and sure support was required for the elevated onyx bar including the subsurface and the lighting. To provide that strong support for the bar (weighing over 400 pounds) while not compromising on the designer appeal of the bar as a unit Bill talked with Federal Brace and selected the Alpine Designer Elevated Countertop Support Bracket (view product page here). Specifically designed to support elevated counters, the Alpine is made of quarter inch stainless steel and provides ample fastening opportunities on a 12" base plate that fastens to the support structure under the subcounter and elevates its top plates 8" above the counter to support a bar. The onyx bar seen in the images is entirely supported by the Alpine Support Brackets. To finish off the metal accents on this Onyx Bar, Design Presentations used a "jitterbug" finish on stainless plate that matches up nicely with the stainless brackets on the face of the support structure under the bar. The finished product is magnificent.
Federal Brace is honored to have our Alpine Countertop Supports as a part of this beautiful work. We thank Design Presentations and William Spiegel for including our brackets in their design and sharing the pictures with us.
