COCOTTE
RICHMOND - LONDON
Upon entering the restaurant guests are transported by our signature use colour, texture, and bespoke design. Creating a cocooning foundation for the scheme, the walls feature a limewash finish with grey hued lower half and a warmer, blush tone on the upper half and ceiling. Seating here at the front of the restaurant combines a large bespoke sofa-style booth designed in-house with caramel colour textural fabric.
Custom tables designed by the studio in square and rectangular form feature a creamy white terrazzo resin surface framed by oak and grounded by solid black bases. Decorating the walls, large oak mirrors break the expanse. Lighting across the restaurant is provided by a mix of architectural track lighting and spun brass pendant lights.
A bar area is central to the space. Defining this focal area, terracotta tiles frame the bar and break away from the restaurant's oak flooring adding a dynamic rhythm to the flow of the interior space. The sculptural bespoke bar features a chunky solid oak base crafted to showcase the beauty of the natural timber. A golden terrazzo resin adds pattern and colour to the façade with an oak surface completing the custom piece. Ceramic countertop lights beckon guests to perch at the four mustard-hued upholstered leather bar stools.
Adjacent to the bar, further booth seating and tables are located. Here, paper and brass accent wall lighting is framed by oak timber panels which make use of the vertical wall space through the custom design device. Moving towards the rear of the restaurant the open kitchen creates a focal point. Pulling through the material palette, the kitchen façade utilises the golden terrazzo resin featured across the bar connecting the areas visually whilst we see further terracotta tiles utilised to clad the wall of the oak waiter station.
Wall-lined booth seating here curves around the interior architecture. Crafted from oak the bases feature a more sculptural shape in comparison to those at the front of the restaurant with upholstery in a patterned green-hued fabric. On the walls bespoke oak mirrors add reflections and visual interest to the limewashed plaster walls enlivening the atmospheric rear space as they bounce light around the interior.
