Salon Sacher
BWM Architekten have tastefully inserted elements from the 1920s and 1950s into the newly designed Salon Sacher and have created a cohesive unit that marries the past and the present.
Following the redesign of the Sacher Eck at the end of 2017, BWM Architekten have now also redesigned the former Sacher Stube, now known as the Salon Sacher. The black and coral colour scheme and the 1920s and 1950s elements congenially complement one other. Arched globe lights highlight the bar’s role as a centrepiece, and tinted mirrors, black lines and metallic effects perfectly round off the overall look. The preserved stucco ceiling is an absolute eyecatcher: Previously hidden behind the dropped ceiling, this historic jewel was discovered in the co... More

Latte Art - London Coffee Festival
For Latte Art, at the London Coffee Festival, Liqui created an immersive event space as part of our exhibition services. At the front and side was a large L-shaped counter where top baristas demonstrated their skills in the art of making lattes whilst being videoed as they worked at their craft. Against the back wall we provided each of the sponsors with a wall mounted light-box showing their individual logos as well as a shelving unit for their branded products.
In addition there was a ‘play zone’ for visitors to have a go themselves with another light-box for them to display polaroids of their efforts.
Latte Art proved to be very successful with lots of people gathering round to learn new skills in the art of making coffee. More

VIP Area - London Coffee Festival
The House of Coffee & Co – The London Coffee Festival’s VIP Hospitality Suite designed by Liqui was developed to create an inviting atmosphere with its details and beautifully designed furnishings allowing visitors to experience fine single origin coffees, teas and cocktails.
It’s a simple and elegant environment that takes inspiration from Scandinavian styles implementing light woods with white and black detailing to create an airy, clean and relaxed space. The VIP area features a purposefully long and elegant bar with a deep black front and a regal gold top. This, when combined with the informal and relaxed style seating, creates a juxtaposition between the decadent and the utilitarian. More

Beyond The Bean
Liqui’s exhibition stand designers created the Beyond The Bean trade stand to be adaptable; suitable for various shows whilst being able to break down into manageable crates for shipping around Europe. It also had to be simple and light enough for assembly by the Beyond The Bean team on location – making the stand more cost-effective for each show.
Liqui wanted a natural feel to represent and complement Beyond The Bean’s brand, they used a high-grade Birch Ply with a clear coat lacquer finish. The backlit logos and counter added presence to the stand making it stand out from the rest.The counter unit was designed to fulfill the need for a functional area to prepare the client’s produce whilst at the same time mainta...

Wolfie's Kitchen
Located in Hove, Wolfies Kitchen, was designed by Liqui to be a distinctive restaurant interior design that reflects the great quality of food they offer. Every aspect of this restaurant design was pushed to be the very best. The unique metallized copper bar, the handcrafted lighting features, together with the tables and chairs were all created specifically for this interior – making it a truly bespoke interior design for diners to enjoy.
Everything was manufactured in its entirety at our Brighton based workshop by Liqui’s bespoke furniture makers. And before anything was built our interior design team produced full virtual reality renders for the client; making it possible for them to ‘step inside’ their virtual r... More

Chimney Cake Bakers
Set in the heart of North London, Chimney Cake Bakers restaurant design marked the first collaborative project between Liqui and our sister company Crate47. While we attended to all aspects of the interior design and fit-out; Crate47 created the branding and graphics which included designing decorative motifs and patterns that were used by us throughout the interior as well as on the website built by Crate47.
The designs took the chimney cake’s Eastern European roots as a starting point. Liqui’s restaurant interior design combines hand decorated reclaimed wood panelling with stripped back painted brick walls to produce a warm, bohemian, but strongly branded environment. Our bespoke furniture makers created distinctive stools an... More
