London – A new restaurant in the city’s West End celebrates meat and the butchering process.
MeatLiquor is the first permanent fixed restaurant from the team behind the travelling MeatWagon. Interior architects Shed designed the restaurant with gruesome elements, including a butcher’s curtain, ox blood red leather banquettes, and a stainless steel bar with a corrugated steel façade that references a sterile factory environment.
Shed commissioned design collective I Love Dust to create a striking illustration across the interior walls, with blood red splashes of paint and animal figures, including a pig and a stag.
‘To have a chance to push the boundaries of what may be considered indecent, inappropriate and wrong, and for the concept to be wholeheartedly backed by the client is one in a million,’ explains Shed. ‘The history of The MeatWagon has been the driving force behind every aspect of this project, but what remains is an entirely new beast.’
