Rawduck

Name: Rawduck
Location: Hackney, London
Design: Unknown

Rawduck, the sister restaurant to London's widely known Ducksoup, is delightfully raw and simple. The wonderful use of concrete and metal come together to create a space that is open and fresh.  

With a clean and fresh interior, Rawduck has created a slight spin on the very popular industrial interior. Simple materials, clean lines, and unpretentious execution all foster a fresh, raw space. 

I love the poured concrete bar and tables, as it is a material I believe too often overlooked. It's versatility  and rich texture add a wonderful feel to the space, while the scalloped/crimped edge along the bar is a great example of the level of detail you can easily achieve.

Brooklyn Girl

Name: Brooklyn Girl
Location: San Diego

Located in San Diego, Brooklyn Girl is a great example of two regional styles coming together to create a great mix. 

Using a monochromatic color palate of grey and white, they keep the space rooted in California by keeping it cool and bright. The addition of industrial furniture, rough wood, and rust tables bases all adds bits of Brooklyn without creating a dark and warm effect.
