Interior design form, CantorMasters, is excited to be working with Brindisa on its high-profile flagship restaurant in Rupert Street, Piccadilly.
This latest addition to Brindisa’s portfolio, Morada Brindisa Asador, opens in early March and is its second site in the Soho area, with another well-established restaurant already in Broadwick Street. The brand has further restaurants at London Bridge, South Kensington and Shoreditch as well as shops at Borough Market and Brixton.
At the heart of Brindisa’s restaurants is the freshly prepared tapas, cured meat, cheese and fish plates it serves with food sourced from Spain’s finest producers. The name comes from the Spanish word ‘Brindis’, meaning to raise your glass in celebration.
The double-fronted site in Rupert Street will be dominated by an oak-fronted, marble-topped central island bar around the kitchen. Customers will be able to watch the team of chefs preparing their food or enjoy a relaxing drink from a list which includes a fine selection of Spanish wines and sherry.
CantorMasters’ design is dominated with natural materials focussed on the colours of Spain. The main restaurant floor tiles, sourced in Spain, are of a burnt umber and warm orange with a traditional motif. Weathered brass wall lights contrast against the rough plastered walls. There will be a contrast of rough-hewn, lime washed oak screens and natural oak cross sawn table tops.
Vintage wooden ceiling fans will be mixed in bespoke brass pendant lights, while the decorative over bar, complete with ham hanging rails, will be made of oxidised steel.
Brindisa director Ratnesh Bagdai says: “We are happy to be working alongside Neil Masters, who we originally engaged for opening both Tapas Brandisa Soho and Casa Brindisa in 2009/2010. Neil’s application to his work is second to none and his firm’s ability to sketch up images and concepts make it very easy for them to visualise the eventual outcome.”
