Red Deer Ochre Gro Studio London-Ltd-Valyou Furniture

The structure of a painting inspired the design of Ochre, the National Gallery’s new restaurant in London, and we are obsessed with the design from Red Deer that takes palette cues from the name “ochre” — in burnt oranges, yellows and browns. These tones are continued in the textiles within the restaurant, ranging from luxurious velvets, boucle and embroidered textiles to raw cottons and linens, and they informed the design process from the start. The addition of hand-patinated brass details throughout further adds to our need to visit this space during our next trip overseas, as do the handmade ceramic tables by ceramicist Emma Lloyd-Pane.
