CO-WORKING HUB DESIGNED BY KKDLeading shared workspace

provider Central Working

has launched a new

co-working hub for

innovation and enterprise

within Grosvenor Britain

& Ireland’s new Eccleston

Yards development, on the

boundaries of Belgravia and

modern startup community

with an all-inclusive

hospitality-first approach.

Nathan Hutchins of Muza Lab has created a destination

restaurant an at iconic hotel. An art deco masterpiece,

Belmond Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro is the crown

jewel of the world’s most iconic beach. Originally opened in

1923, the hotel quickly became synonymous with glamour

and sophistication. The design vision for Pérgula was to re-

create a restaurant and poolside experience that was true

to this heritage and would return the mystique of its heyday

within a contemporary aesthetic. Pérgula sits perfectly

placed between the vivid life of Copacabana Beach and the

quiet intimacy of the pool garden, and the new design helps

guests connect with both faces. By introducing floor-to-

ceiling windows to the poolside and removing a half-height

wall on the boardwalk side, it has become a permeable

space with views opened-up from front to back. The space

flows from inside to outdoors and back again, spilling from

the interior onto the re-landscaped poolside verandah in

one direction and drawing the new plantings and their

scents into the interior, whilst also visually connecting

to the oceanside.

PÉRGULA AT BELMOND COPACABANA PALACE

Louise Bradley celebrates the 10th anniversary of its

Knightsbridge showroom this year. A West London secret of

discerning consumers and many designers, the showroom

is a treasure trove of bespoke furniture and contemporary

accessories styled into contemporary, quintessentially British

style room sets, with each product designed and sourced

by the expert Louise Bradley team. The upholstered sofas,

chairs, ottomans and pouffes are all crafted in the UK,

marrying woods such as the raw smoked lime oak timber

with antique bronze details and exquisite fabrics. Lovingly

made in Europe are Louise Bradley’s tables, chests of

drawers, cabinets and desks, featuring a delightful array

of finishes from shagreen, embossed leather and mother

of pearl to opal glass, parchment, eucalyptus veneers and

antiqued mirrors. The team has also scoured the globe to

source a carefully curated selection of interiors accessories

and art pieces from the finest artisans. These collections

throughout the year, as new discoveries are being made,

from fine porcelain sculptures to shagreen jewellery boxes

and horn desk accessories. With an extensive collection

of products on display and in stock, together with the

specialist team on hand to provide support and guidance, the

showroom provides the finest shopping experience for luxury

interiors in London.
