Callas Brasserie, Budapest, Hungary
"A grand Budapest coffee house displaying fin-de-siècle influences with an Art Deco twist."
{"Everything we do is a reflection of the principle that design is in the detail."}
I first became interested in David Collins' work after visiting one of the hotels and restaurants he designed and was immediately taken with every glamorous detail. Founded in 1985, David Collins Studio includes architects, interior, graphic and furniture designers in offices on three continents. The style is immediately identifiable by its sleek, sophisticated urban glamour, stunning lighting, high-gloss satins, and rich leather. The Irish-born architect has helped to create some of the coolest places to be seen in London, including The Wolseley restaurant, and is now taking on Manhattan and LA . . .
David Collins has also won GQ's Man of the Year Award:
". . . for creating some of the capital's most convivial restaurant interiors - the Wolseley, J Sheekey, Locanda Locatelli. Collins ranks amongst the best company in London and is hot-wired to modern life. But he understands restaurants, rather than lives in them."
