Interior Design Philosophy

Luxurious Space Elements

The approach to creating the interiors for LAVO Ristorante was guided by a philosophy of harmony and innovation. The main dining area features bespoke restaurant furniture, including custom-designed booth seating and bespoke bench seating that offer both comfort and privacy. Materials like the ribbed recycled leather from Buxkin highlight the commitment to sustainable luxury, while hand painted details by Lizzi Porter and rattan lampshades add a touch of artisanal elegance.

Warm Interior Features

The interior design of LAVO London is a visual masterpiece that showcases wood-panelled ceilings and exposed brickwork, evoking a sense of warmth and welcome. A living wall and strategically placed olive trees imbue the space with a Tuscan garden feel, while floral seating fabric reflects the colourful nature of Italian cuisine. The use of leather and two-tone fabric backs on the seating further elevates the overall aesthetic, creating a sophisticated yet cosy environment.
