Merivale's latest 200-seat restaurant is a vibrant homage to the 1970s underground dining scenes of New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. The visual identity brings together nostalgic details and high-energy design elements that transport guests into an edgy yet sophisticated atmosphere. As art director, the challenge lay in seamlessly blending retro flair with modern intensity, capturing the venue’s unique character. Selecting renowned photographer Hugh Davison was key to translating this vision into a photographic style that echoed the venue’s spirit, striking the perfect balance between gritty charm and elevated dining.
