Fratelli Boffi has recently made a significant contribution to the London dining scene by supplying bespoke furniture for The Barbary Notting Hill. The new restaurant, a sister venue to the acclaimed original in Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden, opened its doors in September 2024 and offers a stylish and intimate dining experience.
A Historic Setting for a Modern Dining Experience
Located in a historic building at the intersection of Westbourne Grove and Chepstow Road, the venue seats 75 people in an environment designed by the Archer Humphryes Studio, a decade-long collaborator of Fratelli Boffi. The design approach prioritizes the use of natural materials, refined finishes, and an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.
Fratelli Boffi’s Custom-Designed Furniture
Fratelli Boffi has contributed significantly to The Barbary Notting Hill project by crafting a series of bespoke furniture pieces that seamlessly blend aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, perfectly suited for the demanding contract sector.
Their offerings include swivel stools constructed from solid mahogany, a combination of strength and durability designed to withstand the rigors of restaurant environments without compromising guest comfort. Additionally, the armchairs, featuring ribbed backrests and a solid mahogany frame, are upholstered in fireproof fabric to ensure safety and longevity. The intricate detail of the Vienna straw backrest adds a touch of natural artistry to the restaurant’s interior. Finally, the table tops, also made of solid mahogany, are appreciated for their sturdiness and the intrinsic elegance of the material.
Fratelli Boffi’s commitment to quality and durability is evident in their meticulous selection of materials, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards and resistance to wear and tear. Mahogany, renowned for its strength and versatility, harmonizes beautifully with Vienna fabrics and straw, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
