A pomegranate tree that encases the biophilic design and reaches up to the glass dome ceiling.

Ethically sourced materials rich in colour and texture.

Designed to integrate cultures, support local farmers and encourage donations.

Graphic design and brand development brought this scheme to life.

Rainwater recycling, composting and solar power help to make the site self-sufficient.
Set in the Dome building in Plymouth, the Living Table redefines traditional dining. Using mise en scene and a fusion of culturally inspired aesthetics, the design aims to educate and support the local area in ways other restaurants wouldn't. A portion of total profits are donated to local organisations and charities like Crisis, PEA, food banks and Action Against Hunger. Additional donations are encouraged by expressing the value in everyday things through design - fresh water, whole foods, shelter and family.

Consideration of commercial uses as well as decorative finishes, ensuring the design is accessible, durable and aesthetically pleasing.
