在伦敦的Bronte餐馆，英国设计师Tom Dixon创造了一个粉红色的混凝土酒吧台、绿色的皮革展位和一个装有奇珍异宝的橱柜。

British designer Tom Dixon has created a pink concrete bar, green leather booths and a cabinet of curiosities for London restaurant Bronte.

Dixon和他的建筑室内设计师在此项目上实践了Design Research工作室的设计风格，他们对位于斯特兰德大街的Regency大厦做了改造，使其可以俯瞰Trafalgar广场。

该餐馆的室内从Admiral Nelson获得灵感，他是Bronte的公爵，他的雕像站立在广场著名的Nelson纪念柱上。餐厅内部大概以英国维多利亚时期的收藏家和探险者为主题。

Dixon worked with his architectural interiors practice Design Research Studio on the project, which transformed a Regency building on The Strand, overlooking Trafalgar Square.
Taking inspiration from Admiral Nelson, Duke of Bronte, who stands upon the square's famous Nelson's Column, the restaurant's interior is loosely themed around British collectors and explorers of the Victorian era.

这座英国摄政时期的大厦有波特兰石材立面、传统的柱廊阳台，外立面上有两层拱形的窗户。

开始改造时，内部通过它的关键结构将一块空白石板锚固：一个粉红色的混凝土早餐吧台、绿色的花岗岩厨房、鸡尾酒吧台和定制家具，其中定制家具包括翡翠绿色的皮革宴会座位。

The Regency-era building has a Portland stone facade, traditional colonnade terrace and two-storey arched windows on the outside.
The inside, a blank slate when the project began, is anchored by its key structures: a pink concrete breakfast bar, a green granite kitchen, a pewter cocktail bar and custom furniture that includes jade-green leather banquet seating.

“我们已经添加了一些固定的建筑元素，比如前部的大的粉红色混凝土吧台和后部的大的青灰色的吧台，这两个吧台都是巨大的，而且会越来越优雅，” Dixon告诉Dezeen。“我喜欢给人带来持久感的事物，而且我认为这个地方确实需要它。”

“酒吧和餐厅设计的诀窍真的是耐久性，并尝试和发现物质性，得益于一点点的磨损和撕裂。”

"We've added some fixed architectural elements like a big pink concrete bar at the front and a big pewter bar at the back, both of which are substantial and will age gracefully," Dixon told Dezeen. "I like things that feel like they have a sense of permanence, and I think that place demands it really."
"The trick with bar and restaurant design really is durability, and to try and find materiality that benefits from a bit of wear and tear."

栏杆、架子和屏幕采用了钝化的锌，它是金色的同时有微弱的闪光品质，在空间中补充了绿色和粉红色的色调。

Bronte餐厅提供国际性的美食，在设计Circus之后，该餐厅是Dixon为Adam和Trevor Davies设计的第二个场所。Circus是伦敦的一个酒吧兼餐厅，它也采用了卡巴莱歌舞表演式的风格。

Balustrades, shelving and screens in passivated zinc, which is gold-coloured but has a faintly iridescent quality, complement the green and pink palette in the space.
Serving international cuisine, Bronte is the second venue Dixon has designed for Adam and Trevor Davies after Circus, a London bar and restaurant that also incorporates cabaret-style acts.

Bronte历史旅行与探索的主题用一个装满奇珍异宝的橱柜的方式展现——这是出现在16世纪的一种展示收藏品的方式。

“我想我们应该把这种创建收藏品的想法进行下去，用这种方法环游世界，”Dixon说。

Bronte's theme of historical travel and exploration comes in the form of a cabinet of curiosities – a way of displaying collections of objects that emerged in the 16th century.
"I thought we'd tie it down to this idea of creating collections and going around the world in ways ," said Dixon.

Bronte餐馆墙上的架子以一些物品为特色，它们来自于Dixon和他的团队从市场、在线拍卖得来的物品和自己的收藏。它们被安排在分类的主题中——航海、植物、地质——在不同的场合。

Dixon的一些作品也被布置在空间中，包括一个主要的卧室、夹层和一个更私人的后部的酒吧。Gold Fade装饰悬挂在粉红色的混凝土吧台上，同时几何的曲线形式的蚀刻金属在绿色的花岗岩厨房周围。

Bronte's wall shelves feature objects that Dixon and his team brought together from market, online auctions and their own collections. They are arranged in themed groupings – nautical, botanical, geological – in different sections of the venue.
Some of Dixon's products are also installed in the space, which features a main room, mezzanine and a more intimate back bar. Gold Fade pendants hang over the pink concrete bar, while the geometric etched metal forms of Curve surround the green granite kitchen.

建筑照明隐藏在覆盖层和线脚内部，用于软化任何坚硬的边缘。

Bronte是至今Dixon设计的最大的独立餐厅。他之前的室内项目包括巴黎餐厅éclectic，它把原始的、工业混凝土表面与有纹理的黄铜、大理石和皮革细节结合在一起。

Architectural lighting hidden within coving and architraves is used with the intention of softening any harsh edges.
Bronte is Dixon's biggest standalone restaurant so far. His previous interiors projects include Paris restaurant éclectic, which combines raw, industrial concrete surfaces with tactile brass, marble and leather details.

该设计师最近其他的项目有：伦敦共同工作的空间Atrium，它配备了相应的家具和照明。

目前他在以洛杉矶和纽约的新店的形式扩大他的零售业务。

The designer's other recent interiors projects include London co-working space Atrium, which is kitted out in his furniture and lighting.
He is currently also expanding his retail business, with new stores in Los Angeles and New York.
