I have been passing by Napket for quite a while now and I am officially curious. I love what it looks like. But it's a bit intimidating. It looks like it could be expensive, although I am sure it will be affordable. After all, it IS a glorified Pret-a-Manger. Plus, I like the fact that they target the upscale crowd, but simultaneously make fun of them, by calling them 'snobs'. It makes me wonder, does their clientèle not know? Don't they understand that 'snob' is a derogative term? Either way, it amuses me and I am dying to find a friend to come along with me and visit the place.
The last time I convinced a friend to join me on a little investigation it was the Ex-Friend who came along to The Wolseley. It was a beautiful space and I'll always remember entering the bathroom area downstairs and thinking, all bathrooms should look like this. But unfortunately they don't.
Funnily enough, The Wolseley was another restaurant where the colour black dominates. I think I have a thing for it. One of my projects at university included a private member's club called The Black Bar. As you can imagine, the interior was all black. In fact, I will show the drawings in another post soon to follow.
I was quite surprised when I found a few renders of the space, done by a studio who I can't locate at this moment. The visuals are not amazing. They lack emotion and it looks like they haven't been rendered at the highest quality. Or perhaps the light is just a bit bland. I wonder what program they used? I am not up to the point where I can make assumptions, but I am curious!
