Think pink: five blush-infused interiors
From a millennial-pink Formica-clad restaurant to a café-style office, we select five interiors using pink as a statement.
Beer52 by Jacoco
JA!COCO! brings playfulness to Beer52’s headquarters
Dubbing itself the world’s biggest craft ale subscription service, Beer52 wanted a home that embodied its identity. It was for this reason it approached JA!COCO! Studio, who used its knowledge and experience in curating daring, original hospitality venues to transform what was a rundown Georgian building into a hive of creativity for the HQ on Melville Crescent, Edinburgh. Inside, the townhouse office has opted for bold and colourful design starting at reception, with arched-entrance swing doors that burst open onto a welcome desk fitted with beer taps and floor-to-ceiling custom window blinds with the brand’s characters and emblems.

Humble Pizza by Child Studio
Humble pizza restaurant is tickled pink by Child Studio
Inspired by the post-war ‘Formica caffs’ of the 1950s and 60s, Child Studio designed a pastel-pink restaurant for London pizza company Humble Pizza.
Child Studio approached Formica to recreate a millennial-pink ‘linen’ pattern popular in the 60s and 70s, resulting in a bespoke material for Humble. Walls are clad in the Formica panelling which continues along counters and tabletops, and unique vintage accessories and mid-century lighting nurtures the retro aesthetic.

Bun Burgers by Masquespacio
Masquespacio designs a unique dining experience in Turin, Italy
Masquespacio partnered with restaurant Bun to create another playful outpost for the burger chain in Turin, Italy. Three colour-blocked zones define each area of the space, organised to be visible from three windows. Green is used in the order area, and pink and blue are used to create two very different seating areas: in the pink area, diners can share tables under blush-hued arches and terrazzo benches, while the blue area adopts a swimming-pool aesthetic for a more unique dining experience.
“The idea to play with one colour for each window creates a visual effect from the outside that makes the spectator walk from one visual world into the other, travelling through different experiences in the same space,” says the studio.

Idean by Jackdaw
Jackdaw creates colour-infused workplace for design studio Idean
Jackdaw Studio created a new ‘café style’ office and event space for design studio Idean, which regularly hosts workshops and events for its global clientele. Materials and colours were key to the design of the free-flowing café concept office, utilising materials and integrating colour zoning to create a connected and holistically conceptual interior for the Shoreditch office.

Naked and Famous by Lucas y Hernandez-Gil
Colour-blocking creates different moods at Naked and Famous cocktail bar
Spanish studio Lucas y Hernandez-Gil has designed a dramatic scheme for a cocktail bar in Seville. A series of colour-blocked rooms feature reflective materials and lighting to create different moods and emotions, inspired by the experience of drinking a cocktail. The rooms feature bespoke furniture by the studio’s furniture arm, Kresta Design, and are based on the forms of kitchen utensils.
