London’s boldest restaurant
Architect India Mahdavi and renowned British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare make a notable impact on sketch’s already iconic Gallery restaurant on Conduit Street. Mahdavi first transformed the Gallery in 2014, creating a recognisable pastel pink design destination adorned with 245 artworks by David Shrigley.
Now, with the removal of the pink hues and rose gold accents, the restaurant showcases a warm colour palette of golden and copper tones. Shonibare has contributed 14 new site-specific artworks, forming an installation called ‘Modern Magic.’ This series honours African culture and its legacy.
Transforming an already recognisable space may seem challenging, but sketch continues to evolve. It remains a venue that hosts rotating art and installations while becoming a work of art itself. The destination is renowned for embracing new directions, and we commend the restaurant for consistently advancing and delighting guests with fresh surprises on every visit.
