A brilliant restaurant interior design by Thomas Heatherwick

restaurant-interior-designI don’t know about you but this brilliant restaurant interior design seems to come out of a Tim Berton movie in a Sleepy Hollow(ish) sort of way. The ambiance of this place is out of this world. I love the colors, the layout and the amazing lighting design.

Actually, this was an old pub across the road from Konstam, London which was then transformed by Oliver Rowe, chef and cafe-owner, and Heatherwick Studio, an architecture and product design studio, established by Thomas Heatherwick.

“An early decision was to make the project be a kitchen in which diners can sit and eat, the chefs providing the focal point, and walls holding open shelves for cooking equipment and jars of food preserved for the winter.

restaurant-interior-designThe need to light the tables, combined with the unavoidable pub-like character of the windows, gave rise to the idea of using the lighting to make a symbolic connection between window and table. The frame of each of the fifty-seven window panes is fringed with hundreds of fine metal chains, drawn up into draped bundles which are slung over hooks in the ceiling before flaring downwards to form lampshades over every table, using a total of 110 kilometres of chain.”
