Contemporary minimalism meets classical form in this Flos Bespoke lamp, a commission to Michael Anastassiades for the luxury Italian leather-goods house Valextra. The lamp is repeated in seven identical examples within the rigorous John Pawson– designed interiors of Valextra’s Milan flagship on Via Manzoni. Hearkening to the ingenuity and elegance of ancient Greek architecture, Valextra merges modern design with advanced technical mastery.   Vertical LED rods join around a central base to form a freestanding lamp that recalls the geometric parity of platonic forms and the stately fluted columns of the Parthenon.   A symbol of timeless beauty, the lamp’s illuminated columns bring abstraction and clarity to an...

Aroma light installation becomes the centrepiece in the reception atrium (50 feet high) of a leading spice manufacturing company. Its design traces the journey of the process of cooking, ascribing to it a tangible, sculptural sense. The 35-feet-tall light installation is suspended from the ceiling, representing beauty in its truest form — mirror finished stainless steel balls, almost glass-like in feel, and floating ‘aroma rings’ of light keep enlarging as they spiral up and spread out. Spices and herbs are depicted as vital determinants in the making of a culinary masterpiece, as they waft gracefully from ‘vessel’ below, pervading the air with flavour and fulfilment.  The light installation essentially,...

Bread Lab Bakery in Fulham Reach, London, involved a lot more than just the bakery shop design and is a great example of the full turn-key service Liqui Group can offer our clients. As well as the bakery interior design itself, we followed the whole process through, from render to reality, providing initial concept designs, photo-realistic renders, 3D visuals, full specifications, building control consultancy, liaising with the landlord, fit-out and full project management through to completion. In addition, we provided all of the furniture and lighting including custom made shelving and banquet seating. For this particular retail design project our client, who was passionate about baking, wanted the bakery cafe interior design to reflect... More

Liqui undertook the shop design and build for Browns Natural Pet Store with the aim of creating an environment more like a retail experience than the usual pet shop design. To this end, there is a focus on custom items throughout, such as the bespoke counter and shelving units, as well as the dog grooming salon interior design. Together with custom manufactured slat walling, subtlety branded crates and bespoke trolley units, it all adds up to the perfect retail design that accentuates the client’s brand while displaying a wide range of merchandise in a way that is commercially effective, visually attractive and uncluttered. Everything was manufactured in the Liqui workshop and constructed from dark stained sustainably sourced Birch p... More

Liqui has created some stand-out interiors for the coffee industry throughout the Middle East; with previous projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Jeddah. The Al Khayyat flagship coffee shop design, shortlisted for the FX Awards 2019, and previously the Design Middle East Awards 2018, is our second for Brew92. It features a specialist roastery and an extensive coffee counter offering premium choices. The coffee shop interior brings together reclaimed wood, refined finishes, lush green foliage and deep blues to create a beautiful and memorable environment that is integral to the Brew92 brand. To break up the open two-story empty space in a way that would give it some character we opted to give it the feel of a reappropriated warehouse and worke... More

Liqui are currently undertaking the restaurant design of the brand new Roll & Patty chain set up by one of the largest food and beverage groups in the Middle East. Taking our inspiration from New Orleans and the Louisiana Bayous, the restaurant interior designs reflect an easy-living, relaxed atmosphere; being both bright and fun with a festival feel complementary to the premium fast food offering which includes quality burgers and lobster rolls. Unlike some of the independent restaurants we’ve designed, that are quite individual and aimed at a very specific clientele, the overall design for the chain had to be something that would be appealing to a wider audience. We came up with an engaging look based around easily transferable... More

Kaafi is a great example of Liqui’s coffee shop interior design ‘concept to reality’ service that we can provide for clients around the world if and when required. In the case of Kaafi, as well as the café design, we manufactured furniture and lighting in the UK before shipping it to the Netherlands; while our build team, working to our full specifications, undertook the coffee shop fit-out through to the finished interior. We even provided the complete cafe branding through our sister company Crate47. Kaafi is an independent coffee house in the heart of The Hague. Our coffee connoisseur client wanted a welcoming, cosy and elegant place for his customers to meet, relax or work while enjoying his specialist coffee.... More
