BRUNSWICK HOUSE CAFE

Brunswick House Cafe
The building, dating back to 1758, belongs to architectural rescuers Lassco – seemingly a Georgian version of Dickens’ Old Curiosity Shop, where the antique sits comfortably next to the contemporary...
Lighting is a favourite aspect of interior design for us, and in our opinion its importance is often criminally over(under?)-looked; the choice of fittings can make or break a venue’s aesthetic. We’re glad to say that there’s nothing at all peripheral about the bulb-work at Brunswick House Cafe – in fact there’s probably as much attractiveness hanging from the ceiling as there is at eye or ground level, which is saying something considering the quality of the furniture on display here.
You can see from our pictures what a splendidly diverse selection of shades and chandeliers illuminate the premises in Vauxhall, London – so varied it looks like the salvage shop it actually is. The building, dating back to 1758, belongs to architectural rescuers Lassco – seemingly a Georgian version of Dickens’ Old Curiosity Shop, where the antique sits comfortably next to the contemporary. The café part of the premises is run by professional foodie family member Jackson Boxer, and has been earning rave reviews for both the dishes and the slick service, which deserves extra credit given the interior is so brilliantly non-uniform. A café with character in every corner.

MIKKELLER BAR, COPENHAGEN


Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Faultless fusion of modernism and traditional Danish pubs...
Getting it right; it’s the balance between hip and homely, relaxed and revolutionary – that magic blend where style effortlessly meets the substance, where the offerings are not overshadowed by the design and where the design hasn’t been used to mask the shortfall in offerings. Above all this, it’s about being unique, innovative and interesting – of course without being brash, gaudy or overbearing. You see, getting it right, really right, is harder than you think.
That’s why, when you see something that’s just so perfectly ‘right’ as the Mikkeller Bar – from cutting-edge Danish microbrewery, Mikkeller – you need to take a minute to compose yourself, admire designers Femmes Regionales‘ faultless fusion of modernism and traditional Danish pubs and, well, book your ticket to Copenhagen naturally…
