BLACKLOCK

Rivington Street, London / UK

Project

To design a restaurant within an old East London furniture factory.

Action

We were approached by Blacklock to work with them on their 3rd restaurant in London. The Rivington Street site is their largest to date and their first above basement level. The site is located in the heart of the East End and was once at the centre of a thriving industrial area. The industry might be gone, but the buildings remain. The challenge of this site was to uncover and feature the original elements hidden behind layers of breeze blocks and plasterboard.

By using original and reclaimed materials we were able to replicate the original ceiling within the dining area. We worked closely with the founder of Blacklock to create an authentic environment that is comfortable and sits within the building. This was achieved by using original and reclaimed lighting, flooring, furniture and found elements.
