NIGHTINGALE
RESTAURANT INTERIOR, MAYFAIR LONDON Located in a sheltered courtyard in Mayfair, London, guests emerge into a space that is elegant but restrained, with classic European aesthetic influences reimagined in contemporary materials. The design references continental Kaffeehaus culture, as well as museum and theatre interiors.  

An angled ceiling opens up to the exterior, creating a stage-like room with space to breathe. Fluted walls in crisp white and layers of curtains capture the abundance of daylight and create an ever-changing play of light and shadow.

Accentuated by a feature installation of five dancing chandeliers, Nightingale is spun in playful motion. ‘Tanzende’, a German Lithograph by Dietrich Burger from 1983 adorns the steel and marble backbar.
