We have reached an exciting milestone in our project to transform London's Royal Parks with a family of nine new sculptural kiosks, designed on behalf of artisan café brand Colicci. The first kiosk, clad in steam-bent oak, is now open at Ritz Corner in Green Park. Eight more will follow, with unique details tailored to each site around Green Park, Hyde Park and St James's Park, but united by the sculptural canopy that swells out like a tree's crown and gives the family of kiosks their striking silhouette.

Mizzi Studio has unveiled its second commission for a Westfield site – a new beauty bar for S&G Beautique at the entrance to Westfield London’s £600 million expansion.

We have created a sweeping, organic-inspired form in lustrous brass. A dramatic cocoon, with the natural contours of a shell articulated through gentle ripples, houses a treatment room, an area for eyebrow threading and eyelash extensions, and a nail bar.

“We wanted to create a jewel that would stand apart from every other kiosk and be an emblem of beauty for our client,” said Matthew Chilton, Associate at Mizzi Studio, “We chose to move away from the conventional, white, clinical look and instead embrace colour, warmth and drama.”

Mizzi Studio was honoured to be one of five previous award-winning designers who were invited by the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards organisers to create a huge three-dimensional tapestry on the theme of 'celebration’, to mark the 10th anniversary of the awards. Our design was theatrically revealed during the ceremony in Kings Cross, London in October 2018.

Playing on the idea of a fireworks display, we created five acrylic assemblages to capture explosive moments in time, each freezing a firework in its most beautiful state. Then, to bring the static sculptures to life, we looked to nature as the key inspiration behind our wider design approach. Thinking about how, just as fireworks light up the night sky, bioluminescent organisms glow and glitter in the ocean, we choreographed LED light strips to evoke sea-creatures dancing together in the deep.

Mizzi Studio is honoured to announce that our latest project - The Serpentine Cafe - has been granted planning permission by Westminster Council. Commissioned by artisan coffee brand Colicci, the structure's fantastical sweeping brass canopy will sit proudly on its prestigious site in Hyde Park, minutes away from some of London's most remarkable architectural hot spots - The Serpentine Pavilion and Zaha Hadid's Serpentine Sackler gallery. We are proud to be amongst such influential company and we hope it will be a source of inspiration and joy for everyone who loves London's stunning Royal Parks.

“Our design for the Serpentine Cafe took inspiration from the Serpentine lake itself – its name and meandering shape – and infused those influences with new levels of movement and texture. We created heightened drama by integrating the sweeping motion of a stingray’s flight into the canopy. The form of the roof was designed to reach its climactic point while hovering above the entrance – as though a zoomorphic cape had been pulled through the air over the entire cafe.” Jonathan Mizzi
