Manicomio goes crazy for Muirhead leather

27/07/2011
Andrew Muirhead & Son, part of Scottish Leather Group, recently completed a project to supply the leather for Manicomio, a contemporary Italian restaurant in Central London.

In keeping with the continental atmosphere, Andrew Muirhead hides in Sateen Riviera were specified for use on wing-back chairs and barstools in the main restaurant. In order to highlight the Riviera theme, muted colours with a waxy finish were used to tie in with the natural materials within the restaurant.

Jane Taylor, from design company Jane Taylor Designers commented: “The central design idea for the refurbishment of Manicomio was to create an atmosphere of ‘La Dolce Vita’ by using a palette inspired by Pucci that was perfectly captured in the leathers of Andrew Muirhead.”

Archie Browning, sales director for Andrew Muirhead & Son commented: “Finding ourselves becoming more and more immersed in the London fine dining scene is testimony to the quality of our leather. Leather is more durable than fabric, has a longer life and is cool in summer and warm in winter. It also exudes luxury in keeping with the surroundings of top-end restaurants such as Manicomio.”
