Felix Warley
Essex | Restaurant & Interior Design
Following a successful partnership on Felix Seafood Grill, we were appointed once again by Chef Stephen Li to undertake the Architecture, Branding and Interior Design for his latest venture in Essex.
Our brief for the project was to turn an uninspiring building into a luxurious and exceptionally unique all-day dining venue, which reflects the high-quality and sophisticated persona of the Felix brand.
Design Inspiration
A sculptural helical staircase crowned with a striking chandelier of knitted wire orbs captivates guests as they enter the restaurant. The bespoke lighting creation, created by Brighton based artists Steven and Amanda Follen, references a subaquatic feel which has become a dominant design narrative throughout the scheme.
A calm palette of marine greens, blues and indulgent textures make up the ground floor restaurant interior with opulent touches such as brass nets enclosing the intimate round seating booths. The dark ceiling is clad with playful waved fins that alter the guest’s perception as their Felix journey unfolds.
Design Outcome
The result is an elegant fusion of interior and exterior design that signals a contemporary approach for dining destinations outside of London.
