Wolfe - Notting Hill

Wolfe in Notting Hill for restauranteur and chef Wolfe Conyngham - A comfortable, slightly whimsical neighbourhood restaurant. Wolfe was built almost entirely from reclaimed materials. Cast iron arch industrial window frames were used to make the backbar, the bar itself, an vintage, oak carpenters workbench. Exposed plaster and oil based scumble glazed walls, the dumb waiter door framed with reclaimed barn gate posts and an old door. Zinc table tops and antique louvre cupboard doors create a harmonious, ensemble oozing rustic charm. “Layers of detail in the interior design on both floors indicate a labour of love and on the ground floor there is a view to a verdant garden. Truly comfortable upholstered chairs issue a welcome challenge to the cultural hegemony of bare-filament light bulbs”.
