Marc Newson designed London\u2019s Coast restaurant in 1995 and it took London by storm, emphasising contemporary design, art, and culinary innovation.

Top, the oak chairs were made in a small Italian factory, later picked up by Magis, which reproduced them in plastic. Above, artist Angela Bulloch’s sound-activatedCoast offered one of the first opportunities for Newson to design an entire space, right down to the smaller objects.
He created seating and tables, as well as smaller items such as ashtrays and pepper grinders. The space – a former Volvo showroom – was developed over two floors and was characterised by an imposing, silo-shaped spiral staircase with stairs covered in green Tartan Track .
