Our client’s brief:
We were challenged to create an interior that represented a brand-new concept - something exciting and innovative within the restaurant world. The space needed to feel light and open, while remaining solid, durable and comfortable, with a unique atmosphere of its own.
The mezzanine presented a challenge, requiring careful consideration of building control regulations without allowing these constraints to compromise the overall design vision or flow of the space.
We introduced our signature natural oak slab tables, paired with cold-bent metalwork to create bespoke table bases and balustrades. The shapes and forms were inspired by the natural grain of the wood, bringing together organic textures and contemporary craftsmanship.
Natural stone, colourful fabrics and candle wall sconces added warmth, texture and character to the interior. The finishing touch was a candlelit sign, crafted using a naturally shaped, first-cut timber slab and glass, creating a distinctive focal point within the space.
