shed: meat market

following the success of london’s hippest meat hang-out MEATLiquor, shed have embarked on the next permanent incarnation; meat market. this sister eatery to MEATLiquor extends across 70sqm and occupies a series of disused, fast-food outlets which shed have transformed into a meat-lovers paradise.

situated in jubilee hall, covent garden and in line with a design ethos which means that no two venues will look the same – meat market’s rich aesthetic is inspired by its bustling market surroundings and the interiors of a butcher’s kitchen. the space is brought to life through blood-red colour palettes, butcher block table-tops, lab stools, white tiles and red powdered, vintage school chairs. this narrow restaurant was deliberately constructed to facilitate movement and eliminate queues, aided by the clear layout, hanging signage and oversized neon arrows set above the scenery.

ilovedust were commissioned by shed to develop the visual narrative and the result is a sea of overhead signage, used to inject personality, showcase meat market’s menu and highlight the restaurant’s meat wagon history. the signs cleverly bringing the space to life through tongue-in cheek humour and saucy overtones which play on the name meat market to shower the space in cheeky, sexual innuendo.
