Interior architecture and design studio Fettle have unveiled the design of Beverly, a West Coast American restaurant at The Hoxton, Rome.
The 89-cover restaurant with a farm-to table ethos and Californian spirit complements Fettle’s design of the public areas of the hotel including the lobby, Cugino café and bar and terrace, which opened in May.
Fettle drew on the existing aesthetic synonymous with The Hoxton brand and used the building itself and its locality as reference points for the design. The building was constructed in the 1970s and the interiors drew inspiration from mid-century Italian design, pairing this with classic architectural details found within some of the more traditional buildings in the neighbourhood.
Beverly has been designed to feel comfortable and inviting with layered accessories and lighting. The theatrical open kitchen has been positioned to offer guests great views of the food being prepared.
The restaurant features a long fluted sage green leather banquette that wraps the entire back wall of the restaurant to create an intimate environment and helps define the space. An additional fabric banquette to the left of the space provides a point of contrast and helps separate the restaurant from the adjacent bar and café.
A large central skylight, surrounded with lush planting, allows natural light to flood the main dining room. At night Beverly is lit by two custom brass chandeliers with frosted glass globes, while elsewhere, bespoke semi-flush Murano inspired ceiling lights help provide soft illumination. Additionally, a selection of vintage table lamps have been employed to provide a soft glow around the perimeter.
A natural palette has been utilised with finishes including a timber clad feature wall along the back of the restaurant. This is offset by a parquet floor in a grid pattern and eclectic artwork. A collection of playful ceramic plates features across one side of the restaurant.
Round marble tables with bespoke leather-covered dining chairs have a strong vintage feel, while wooden square tables service the banquettes around the edge of the restaurant, with bespoke timber and leather dining chairs.
