Set in Central London, Leaf Bistro was conceived as a warm and informal neighbourhood restaurant shaped around the atmosphere of the traditional European bistro.

We developed both the concept and visual language of the space, bringing together aged brick, dark timber, industrial metalwork and abundant planting. Warm, low-level lighting and carefully layered details soften the material palette, creating an interior that feels intimate, familiar and lived-in.

The visualisation series explored the project through light, material and atmosphere, capturing the character of the bistro as it shifts from day into evening.
