Meat The Fish Restaurant Inspired by Land and Sea

Sculptural fireplace and marine-inspired interior at Meat The Fish Restaurant in Chelsea London
Located in London’s Chelsea district, Meat The Fish Restaurant translates its multicultural culinary identity into an immersive spatial experience. Inspired by the meeting of land and sea, the design reflects the restaurant’s blend of Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences, creating an atmosphere where gastronomy, craftsmanship, and contemporary hospitality come together.

A Land and Sea Inspired Dining Experience

Situated on Cadogan Gardens, Meat The Fish Restaurant captivates visitors not only through its Mediter-Asian cuisine but also through its richly layered interior design. Created by MARIAGROUP, the Beirut, London, and Dubai-based studio led by Georges and Michèle Maria, the space was conceived as a land-and-sea-inspired environment that mirrors the restaurant’s diverse culinary roots. Marine-inspired sculptural elements, graphic patterns, and warm wood finishes immerse guests in an atmosphere that balances elegance with comfort. The design also pays tribute to the brand’s origins as a premium meat and fish delivery service founded in Beirut in 2011, before evolving into a celebrated hospitality destination.

Crafting Harmony Through Materiality

The restaurant unfolds through three interconnected zones: a dining area, a central bar, and a more intimate lounge space. To unify the elongated floor plan, the designers employed consistent flooring and ceiling treatments throughout the interior. Custom-made black-and-white encaustic tiles introduce a geological-inspired pattern that guides movement through the space, while a timber grid ceiling creates visual rhythm and order above. Combined with wood-panelled walls and carefully selected materials, these elements establish a warm and grounded atmosphere, contrasting beautifully with the polished bar at the heart of Meat The Fish Restaurant and reinforcing its distinctive culinary sensibility.

▏The Aquatic Theme of Enhanced Installation

Based on the cross-section of a crab and made of mirror polished stainless-steel, the sinuous, wave-like bar counter is bathed in natural light thanks to a skylight above, zanily reflecting its more sombre surroundings. Alabaster wall lights by French-Egyptian-Lebanese designer Chakil Omar echo the bar’s organic shape as do the flowing fabric light pendants in the dining area. The aquatic theme is further enhanced by a bespoke bas relief ceramic installation that Souraya Haddad created for the venue’s fireplace which consists of an array of unique sculptural tiles that form giant interlacing octopus-like tentacles.

Marine references continue in the lounge area with a coral-hued, patterned carpet by Tai Ping inspired by coral reefs and matching armchair upholstery. Sinuous banquettes in burnt orange and sleek chrome and marble tables by Beirut-based design studio Spockdesign enhance the scheme’s elegance, while a five-panel embroidered mural custom-made by Beirut-based design studio Bokja adds playful touches depicting a whimsical wildlife scene complete with sprouting florals, a floating crab, the head of a donkey and a cow jumping over the moon.

 

Downstairs, a circular mosaic pattern of encaustic floor tiles introduces sheen and colour to the restroom area while sea-urchin-like ceiling lamps and wood-panelling soften the mood further enhancing the scheme’s dreamy ambience.

在天津，一個兼具雕塑般的克制美感與溫馨舒適的家

Diverse Studio 在天津將普羅旺斯別墅轉化為雕塑般的極簡住宅

01/04/2026

天津這座改造別墅 在保留普羅旺斯式外觀的同時，透過克制的極簡語言重新梳理空間比例與光線，使住宅轉化為一場關於 材料敘事 的安靜實驗。 位於中國天津綠樹成蔭的街區，一棟普羅旺斯風格的別墅經由Diverse Studio的重新設計，搖身一變成為寧靜祥和的現代極簡主義居所。這次翻新並非追求形式上的革新，而是透過材料與觸感重新定義居住經驗，使建築本身成為日常生活的敘事載體。最初，這棟別墅是為一位熱愛汽車的企業家及其多代同堂的家庭進行翻新改造，最終演變成業主與設計師長達兩年的合作，最終打造出一個兼具雕塑般的克制美感與溫馨舒適的家。 天津一棟翻新別墅，古典韻味與雕塑般的極簡主義完美融合。別墅內部進行了徹底改造，以滿足家庭的需求，但設計師保留了其外觀的古樸魅力——例如赤陶瓦屋頂、拱形窗戶和童話般的塔樓——並以一種靜謐的方式與之對話。最引人注目的改動出現在別墅正面：波浪形的頂棚如同懸浮的絲帶般懸於車道上方，其流暢的造型既呼應了主人對汽車的熱愛，又像徵著住宅的全新面貌。頂棚旁是一個極簡的白色盒子，內設車庫；別墅後方，一座獨立的、宛如太空艙般的涼亭，則成為主人父親的湖畔休憩之所。這些新增部分既不喧賓奪主，也不遮蔽原有風貌，而是讓新舊建築語彙在同一場 材料敘事 中取得平衡。       室內則呈現出截然不同的景象。曾經繁複的裝飾風格如今已轉變為簡約精緻的極簡主義空間，流暢的線條、質感豐富的表面和單色調的運用，共同營造出優雅的氛圍。為了呼應屋主對汽車的熱愛，設計師從汽車空氣動力學中汲取靈感，使每一面牆、每個天花板、每一件內置家具都擁有連貫統一的造型。蜿蜒的隔間、圓潤的邊角和弧形的艙壁模糊了房間之間的界限，營造出動態與流動性，而拱形開口與雕塑般的家具則強化了整體空間的節奏。 整體色調刻意克制，卻不失觸感。微水泥表面賦予空間柔和的歲月痕跡，同時又足夠堅固，能夠承受孩子們天馬行空的玩耍。一層鋪設的大尺寸石板流暢地延伸至地面，其細微的紋理與透過大面積玻璃窗灑入室內的光線交相輝映。二層私人空間則鋪設木地板，增添溫暖氣息，而同樣採用微水泥塗層的衣櫃則確保了視覺上的連貫性。在光滑拋光的表面映襯下，幾根裸露的混凝土樑柱格外醒目，進一步豐富了空間的觸感。 Material is explored in a comparable way in this project
