The next description is provided through the architects. A new eating place recently opened on London’s King’s Road, the neighborhood synonymous with British style, music, and pop culture moves of the 20 th Century from mods and hippies to punks and New Romantics.
Child Studio drew from those cultural references whilst creating the indoors. The idea for the layout got here from the staple of British vernacular publish-struggle architecture – the ‘Formica caffs,’ which first appeared in London’s West End inside the Nineteen Fifties, several of them surviving intact to nowadays. Established via Italian immigrant households, espresso bars served simple snacks and beverages in a pared-lower back modernist setting presenting laminate surfaces, pastel hues, and comfortable seating nooks and crannies. This changed into the start of the ‘cafe way of life’ in London with King’s Road on the epicenter, attracting writers, musicians, photographers, and bohemian characters of all styles.
The indoors is clad in wall-to-wall crimson Formica, which maintains along counter fronts and throughout tabletops. The rhythmic pattern is highlighted with cherry wooden, framing each laminate panel. The designers labored with the Formica factory to recreate the authentic ‘linen’ sample layout famous inside the Nineteen Seventies, choosing a definitely ‘Millennial crimson’ color. Other subtle nods to the past consist of mosaic-tiled floors, cherry timber shelving, and neon signage. The cafe is accessorized with the conventional mid-century light portions through European designers Poul Henningsen, Jacques Biny, and Luigi Massoni.
We have long been drawn to the cinematic fine of London’s ‘Formica cafes,’ the duality of Modernist layout language, and the playful, nearly cartoonish spirit. This assignment pursuits to create a current model of this specific typology’ – commented Chieh Huang and Alexey Kostikov of the London-based Child Studio.

Kneading the pizza mixture: Kneading will allow air to blend with your pizza dough combination. You ought to knead the pizza dough simplest until it reaches the right consistency: the dough doesn’t keep on with the container, and individual portions can be stretched without breaking. Over-kneading will bring about brittle pizza dough. While kneading the dough, use flour to save the combination from sticking to your palms and the bowl, but use as little flour as feasible.
