A study in tinsel

14th December 2014/0/0/

The Run For The Hills tree is dressed in red & white alpine this year and we celebrated with a suitably Swiss cheese fondue party last night. The studio is in full on festive mode & packing up lots of Christmas art print orders. We’re not the most popular people in the Post Office queue these […]

Our latest project with @daisygreencollection, inside the @nationalportraitgallery. Upstairs is Audrey’s. The café’s new design is blessed with beautifully restored original architectural features, including an amazing mosaic floor and striking original shutters around picture windows with views onto Charing Cross Road. Audrey’s statement coffee bar takes centre stage with a beautiful veined marble counter, with soft concrete fluting and La Marzocco espresso machines serving up its signature delicious coffee – all flanked by bold, modern artworks celebrating leading lights in the world of ballet.

Here is our first design project with the @daisygreencollection , in the heart of Soho. Scarlett Green draws upon Melbourne and Sydney F&B culture to deliver an all-day cafe, bar and restaurant, with a laid-back glamorous vibe.

The bar and restaurant are set over two floors across an expansive 4,000 sq ft of space. The design is bright and airy on the light-filled ground floor whilst our basement design notches down, creating a moody and stylish, low-light restaurant feel with a cool mix of pattern clash upholstery and heavily patinated walls.

The Guildford Townhouse top floor boasts a destina

The Guildford Townhouse top floor boasts a destination cocktail bar with its own curated cocktail list, created by Coppa Clubs expert mixologists. Signature blend cocktails and the in-house DJ can be enjoyed from the comfort of the club lounge sofas and cocktail chairs under a dark and moody blue ceiling. The statement copper bar and metal framed arched back bar sets a dramatic yet approachable backdrop to the cool and contrasting interior colour palette of vibrant pinks, icy blues and ochre yellows.

The club lounge walls are dressed with a feature stone fireplace encompassed by arched timber mouldings, classic yet contemporary bobbin detailing and a wow factor marble wallpaper. These characterful elements are softened by rich velvet curtains and glows of moody low-level lighting from brass pendants and Murano glass wall lights.

Drawing inspiration from the mural, Run for the Hills talented graphics team added a dramatic touch through hand-painted canvas art layered with a vibrant glow of amber neon.

Bespoke deep fluted sofas and cosy lounge booths are upholstered in sumptuous, bold velvets with exquisite two-toned fringe detailing paired with punchy patterned pouffe seating creates the perfect space to enjoy a cocktail amongst friends.

And thus finishes our eighties music trilogy of Guildford Townhouse posts.

The middle floor at The Guildford Townhouse featur

The middle floor at The Guildford Townhouse features a brasserie and private dining space, with the brasserie open for all-day dining options, serving everything from brunch and lunch through to late-night dining. Open based banquette seating with contrasting rugs and a central antique brass chandelier creates a homely and relaxed feeling to the brasserie floor. The central stone fireplace is framed by a warm timber-stained bookcase with subtle vintage detailing and a vibrant patterned inset wallpaper. Relaxed yet refined furniture is upholstered in a combination of poppy and textural fabrics which is echoed in the bespoke artwork colour palette creating a friendly and informal experience.

Step inside @coppaclub’s Guildford Townhouse, designed by us.

The Townhouse is located on a beautifully cobbled bustling high street in the centre of Guildford, in the iconic and locally-loved Burton’s building. Set across three floors, the layout is designed so that guests can settle in for the day enjoying a members club-mentality with all-day dining, co-working, drinking and socialising all under one roof.

The corner site of the Burton’s building offers welcomed views into the ground floor café and workspace lounge with expansive crittal style windows framed with a soft blue facade and hand painted gold signage. Entering Coppa Club, you are greeted by a patterned marble mosaic lobby with a dressed vintage side cabinet with colourful artwork and oversized theatrical planting.

The ground floor is a café, bar and workspace, with a ‘snug’ lounge area perfect for working from, catching up with friends, or simply relaxing. This space is designed to combine the best elements of both a workspace and a café, ensuring guests are comfortable whatever their needs. The ground floor represents Coppa Club’s classic layout with a vintage inspired timber cafe-bar and a laid-back cosy work space, in a relaxed and stylish interior. Tonal textured walls layered with curated gallery art are illuminated by bronze picture lights which set the scene on the ground floor for a fresh and inviting all day atmosphere. Distinct areas are created through a carefully considered selection of furniture and bespoke back-to-back banquette seating positioned centrally in the space creating a natural flow between café-bar and workspace.

More and more we’ve been embracing the latest de

More and more we’ve been embracing the latest developments in AI and bringing them into our design process. Whether that’s ChatGPT to aid us in naming or writing campaign straplines, or MidJourney to create the perfect moodboard images. AI has proven particularly useful for signage, allowing us to experiment with materiality and provide clients with a clear visualisation of our proposals. Previously, we relied on time-consuming Photoshop mockups or reference images for things like neon signs or antique brass letters. Now, with the right prompts and a simple click, we can generate photorealistic images quickly and easily.

Here are a selection of images of our horns logomark. It took about half an hour to create them all with @adobe Firefly.

Our design concept for @kricketlondon Kricket’s

Our design concept for @kricketlondon Kricket’s Brixton location was barfly-moody meets under-the-arches cool. Styled for evening vibes and social weekenders. A lo-fi, relaxed scheme, perfect for late night drinks, cocktails and Kricket’s utterly delicious signature small plates. A bit grungier than Soho, we’ve styled Kricket Brixton with a dusky palette, painting the corrugated curves of the two railway arch ceilings in a knocked back pink terracotta. Which gives a welcome-in statement colour by day, and gets warmed by candle-glow lighting at night.Our design concept for Kricket’s Brixton location was barfly-moody meets under-the-arches cool.

Crisp carrara white marble table tops and an eclectic array of mismatch refurbished vintage style Bentwood chairs gives the scheme a relaxed, airy and colonial feel. The restaurant arch features a signature bespoke communal sharing table for large groups. On the bar side, our 70s inspired metal framed banquettes make for a very comfortable, cool place to kick back and enjoy Kricket’s punchy, Indian-inspired cocktails & sharing plates.

Bold colour, gallery-esque art displays and sophis

Bold colour, gallery-esque art displays and sophisticated creative design touches abound in this luxury second London home which has been impeccably revamped by our interiors team.

Designed for a stylish professional couple and their children, the sub-penthouse lofty apartment with an enviable roof terrace, sits within a newly renovated listed building in the heart of the West End.

The client found us through our hospitality work initially and loved our creative, colourful approach to residential design. We came up with a fun and sophisticated scheme that suits working and family life as much as it does entertaining, with a few elements keying into our restaurant and bar design work. The clients will be able to use their London pad as a bolt hole for mid-week work trips, to host guests after dinner and drinks in Soho, and also for family weekends out-and-about exploring the city.
