Under the creative direction of Tom Dixon, Design Research Studio (DRS) have created the interiors for Bronte, a new restaurant located on the Strand overlooking the Trafalgar Square in London.
The restaurant boasts striking architectural features such as an arched glazed facade leading from the traditional colonnade terrace into a double heighted space with a mezzanine level and a more intimate dining room towards the back. Floor to ceiling windows bathe the pantry area in natural light, with a subtle and stylish palette travelling through to the main restaurant.
Against a neutral backdrop, sit large feature elements in extraordinary materials – a pink concrete breakfast bar, a green granite kitchen and a pewter cocktail bar, custom design furniture with green leather and black timber booths – each celebrating a different part of the eclectic restaurant.
Several of Tom Dixon products can be found in the Bronte restaurant. The Curve lights internally reflect and emit a filtered glow of ethereal light. A cluster of gold Fade pendants sit over the dining booths, and a large grid of Plane wall lights in the ceiling coves throughout the restaurant.
