Al-Jawad Pike were commissioned by the vegan restaurant Holy Carrot to design their first flagship space located on Portobello Road in London.
Drawing inspiration from nature and the Japanese aesthetics of ‘Wabi-Sabi’, the interior is conceived as a free-flowing space that echoes curves of the human form. The muted tonal palette of putty coloured plaster walls, textured ceilings and stone flooring are contrasted with brushed aluminium fixtures delicately placed within the porcelain-like interior.
Loose tables crafted in walnut act as a deliberate counter to the lighter tones of walls and floors, bringing heavier, cubic forms to the space. Elsewhere there are few sharp corners in the space and a pill-shaped skylight in the rear of the restaurant brings light into this more intimate space adjacent to the open kitchen. Downstairs the restrooms are formed in earthy-red clay with heavy textures, creating a warm and intense atmosphere in contrast to the lighter and open ambiance above.
