New London Restaurant Designed by Blacksheep: St. Germain
The vibrant feel of New York's best bars and restaurants meets simple but high quality French brasserie fare in a classic and elegant new restaurant project called
St Germain in London's Farringdon district.
The restaurant, owned and operated by ex-Will Ricker Restaurants director Neil Walkington, has been designed by Blacksheep, designers of hit London nightclub The Cuckoo Club ("Best Club" winner at the 12th London Club and Bar Awards this year), as well as the funky flagship store for cult Italian fashion label Voyage and the UK HQ of luxury brand Hermès.
The brief to the designers was to create an understated, simple and classic interior where the food and drink offer takes centre stage.
As well as working on the interiors concept, Blacksheep also designed the external branding and signage for the scheme, as well as a full graphics package, including stationery, menus and matchboxes.
Changes made to the external façade of this classic three-storey building, categorised as a "building of historical interest" (not listed, but sited within a conservation area) include a newly-cleaned façade, awnings over the three windows and larger windows, replacing existing sills, as well as new signage, lighting and menu boxes.
