Studio Found collaborates with chef and interior stylist on new Belgravia restaurant


Wildflowers, a restaurant, wine bar and deli recently opened by chef Aaron Potter and interior stylist Laura Hart was designed collaboratively with Studio Found, an award-winning London-based hospitality interiors specialist. Located in Newson’s Yard, a


new premier design destination in Belgravia, Wildflowers takes its design cues from the location, as well as the vision of Potter and Hart to create a relaxed yet elegant neighbourhood restaurant inspired by the Mediterranean cuisine


and cultures that they both love. Studio Found’s brief was to


create an interior that instilled a welcoming and homely feel that invited guests to relax and enjoy the vibrant Mediterranean-inspired food and drinks on offer. The venue also had to sit comfortably within its locality – a design destination full of upmarket interior stores in the heart of Belgravia in central London, that in its former life had been one of London’s oldest timber yards. The design process from the outset was a wholly collaborative


experience with Ed Plumb, design director and founder of Studio Found, and his team working alongside Potter and Hart. Plumb commented: ‘Together


we wanted to create a space that felt welcoming from the moment guests walked through its doors. We wanted to capture the laid-back dining culture of the Mediterranean and memories of holidays in the sun but bring it back to London with a touch of elegance and refinement as befits its location.’ studiofound.co.uk
