On 7th July 2023, Tate Modern will unveil Corner, a new all-day café and bar, opening onto an outdoor summer terrace. For the first time, Corner will for offer visitors a place for an evening drink on the riverside at Tate Modern.
Hamish Anderson, CEO of Tate Enterprises: “Corner at Tate Modern connects art with food and drink alongside a rich, diverse programme of events. As with everything Tate Eats does, all profits go to supporting the gallery and helping care for the national collection of art
When devising Corner we sought to create a space that befits Tate and the variety of guests that come through the doors, every day – and with the addition of the bar, now open in the evening too - and to work with exceptional partners with an ethos similar to Tate.
The project has allowed us to deepen our sustainability agenda and learn new ways of working. We have taken on new suppliers, adopted new practices, and thought about how we can do everything with lower impact.”
In planning the space, the circular economy was at the heart of the discussions. Designed by Holland Harvey, the space has been stripped back and opened up, with bespoke furniture from Goldfinger and tabletops created by Spared reusing Tate Coffee grounds. Lighting design by There’s Light will help define different spaces and mark the transition from day-time cafe to night-time bar.
