The story begins at the storefront. Inspired by an art installation at Chipotle’s California headquarters, we translated the brand’s iconic chilli into a sculptural Corten steel façade, perforated and backlit to create depth, warmth, and a moment of pause within the constant movement of one of Europe’s busiest shopping destinations. It doesn’t shout for attention. It draws you in and the footfall data demonstrates this.

Inside, the space is rooted in Chipotle’s US design language, carefully evolved for a UK audience. Ceiling heights were lifted, materials softened, and textures enriched to create a more welcoming, human atmosphere. Signature spider lights replace track lighting, casting a warmer glow and subtly referencing the brand’s origins. UK-sourced brick and leather reinforce authenticity and sustainability, while the layout flows with ease mirroring the theatre of the open kitchen

Everything is intentional. Locally (UK) sourced brick and leather bring authenticity and sustainability into the fold. The flow of the layout encourages ease of movement just like the visible kitchen theatre behind the counter.

This is definitely not change for change’s sake. It’s an expression of their brand values shaped by location, culture, and consumer insight.
The Westfield flagship marks a new chapter for Chipotle in the UK. A space that proves when clarity of vision meets design intelligence, the everyday becomes quietly extraordinary.
