Restaurant and Bar Design Awards :: Galvin La Chappelle - Best Restaurant WINNER

Setting out to create an award winning restaurant is no mean feat; great food, an achingly cool interior with attentive staff, and then there’s the brand identity. Signage has evolved a long way from the brass plaque outside the door, and there’s a huge range of technologies that can be applied to create a sophisticated message that conveys the brand identity and values.

In the 2010 Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, the winner Galvin La Chappelle features signage by SIGNSCOPE. The signmakers were selected by Main Contractor French Group, working in conjunction with Design LSM to bring the outline design to reality.

On the exterior, fret cut steel defines the sweeping stokes of the La Chappelle identity against the brickwork facade, the toughness of the material creating a powerful statement of what lies within. The 19th Century Grade II listed building is maintained largely open-plan and the glazed screens have been decorated with etched pattern and corporate identity – the superb lighting scheme creating an elegant and subtle brand message.

Choosing the most appropriate signage technology, whether internally illuminated or not requires sensitivity and creativity, as well as understanding of materials suitable for a scaleable identity. With an extensive knowledge of low energy lighting, and fabrication of all modern materials, SIGNSCOPE offer interior designers a free of charge consultancy service to develop outstanding visual branding solutions to ensure your next project is an award winner!
