East Beach Cafe by Heatherwick Studio
The East Beach Cafe is an extraordinary structure designed by Thomas Heatherwick fort Heatherwick Studio sits right on the beach in Littlehampton, West Sussex. The scale and material of the structure combined with its unique shape and setting, makes for an extraordinary contrast of organic and industrial, natural and manmade.
The interior has been designed by Alan Clayton, responsible for another bastion of British seaside chic, Cornwall’s Fifteen Restaurant. Simply designed with curved wooden furniture and spacious seating for sixty, the priority has been to keep the focus on the seaside view. The menu adds a finishing touch to the concept, offering nostalgic British food, made with quality, local ingredients: fish and chips, kedgeree, potted shrimps, steamed cockles and crumpets. Beats a soggy hot dog any day.

The interiors were designed by Heatherwick. I designed the kitchen areas. Same with Fifteen Cornwall, I did the kitchen areas, not the interiors.
