The Fat Badger London, UK

The Fat Badger is an all-day British drinks and dining room bringing everything about the countryside restaurant to life in London. With a little cheek and lashings of charm, as is true to the Gladwin Brothers style, guests can expect to enjoy the familiarity of brasserie-style dishes with twists from using wild and foraged ingredients to unique takes on classics cooked with flair. In keeping with its continued commitment to ‘what grows together, goes together’, the wine menu features a range of award-winning English wines from its boutique vineyard in West Sussex, Nutbourne. The restaurant is named for the UK’s symbol of the British countryside that lives off the ‘fat’ of the land. The airy bar area is complete with comfortable, plush loungers and tables-for-two encircling a copper top bar. Original BTC’s Hampton Pendants can be seen throughout the bar and restaurant, complementing the accents of brass, and giving the interior a hint of rural charm. Featured products throughout the hospitality space include: Hampton size 2 pendant, Hampton size 1 wall light, Mini Ship’s Companionway in weathered brass and frosted glass, and Whitby double LED spotlights. www.originalbtc.com

Lancasters London, UK

Based in London’s prestigious ‘The Lancasters’ building, overlooking Hyde Park, this French Renaissance style Grade II listed façade is an attractive front to bright and contemporary living spaces inside. Taking two existing dwellings totalling 7,500sqft of space, Katharine Pooley and her luxury interior design studio have renovated the property using sympathetic architectural detailing, thoughtful use of finishes and careful space planning to create this sophisticated residential home, with elegant reception rooms suitable for entertaining, along with cosy lounge areas for quality family time. Inspired by the stunning views from the front of the property, a tranquil, natural theme radiates throughout the project. Pooley’s variety of different glass techniques chosen for the main chandeliers by Czech brand Gladee keep the feeling of space within the double height rooms, allowing the light to reflect and bounce off the surrounding surfaces to maximise their presence. Paying homage to the style and history of the listed building’s interior design, Pooley and her team’s final design is befitting of this fine, historic residence. The living room chandelier is 13-metres long and consists of 700 hand-blown ribbed crystal glass rods in champagne ombre. Each rod weighs 1kg, which meant a hidden stainless steel frame was put inside the ceiling to support the weight of the chandelier. In the dining room there is a chandelier consisting of 225 hand-blown and hand-shaped crystal glass leaves in a mixture of blue, smoke and mica glass with gilded edges. Finally, in the entrance hangs 140 hand-blown and hand-shaped crystal glass maple leaves in champagne with mica and clear colours. www.gladee.co.uk Images: Nico Wills
