A Dolls House for Adults

The Gallery

Sketch a restaurant I recently visited based in central London, it is one of the most Instagram friendly places in the UK, with one room in particularly; the gallery which was commissioned by David Shrigley.  

The room has a clear pastel pink colour pallet with everything from the walls to the furniture covered in the dusty shade. The chairs look like giant Marshmallows with their velvet textures and covering the walls is 239 original David Shirgley illustrations. His art work is simple and with a touch of humour as small cartoon images are accompanied by witty statements. His artwork even reaches out on to the tables as the ceramic tableware also features his signature scribbles with the teapots and milk jugs featuring labels of ‘ghosts’ and ‘dreams’. These little handwritten comments are fun and intriguing, I think they may work well when used with small stitched embroidery on garments or maybe even the finishing touches to a photo shoot.

 The overall feeling of the room is dream like, even the bar with its rose gold finishing and vintage lamps spaced out across the top. As the textures of the room split up the single shade used through out the space as new and old merge together. The dreamy aesthetic of the gallery with its perfect symmetry and its small details you find the longer you sit there is what makes this décor so beautiful.
