Theo’s Simple Italian is a restaurant located within the Hotel Indigo Kensington. DMA’s interior design team were set the challenge of designing a space that would become a local landmark.

The brief was about re-invigorating the site to become a proactive and integral part of the neighbourhood.

Design elements include checkerboard flooring – a reference to the traditional deli aesthetic – and a play on detail in single elevations – banquettes with quilted leather, tongue and groove vertical panelling with chevron timber panels above.
