Nando’s, Cobham Services

The Design for Cobham Services was inspired by travel, but in a subtle and interesting way as these places act as momentary escapisms for traveller. The subtle travel cues are found within the booth benches, inspired by classic car seat designs, which sit beside two overhanging abstract tree screens, that give a nod to watching the world we live in roll by.

The African influences are clear, with large fabric wrapped woven lights that become a main focal point in the restaurant.  A lot of the forms were inspired by the existing architecture of the aged diamond shaped green copper cladding that protrudes into the restaurant along the glazed facade.
