Have you ever seen so much pink?!
It would maybe be a little overwhelming, if it wasn’t so beautiful. It’s like pure cotton candy…
Unlike Garance, I’ve had a conflicted relationship with pink in the past. We’ve had our ups and downs; it’s not always a love that comes naturally, it’s a little more seasonal so to speak. But, recently and inspired by how effortlessly pink is embraced at the Studio, I’ve come to really love it. So striking, feminine and (I think this is the perfect word for it?) pretty. It’s classic but unpredictable, don’t you think?
Nowhere in the world does pink quite like Sketch, set in the super cool Regent Street area of London. The team had tea there with Lou and Paula, and it was like a chic, pink shrine… booths in tufted pink velvet, playful white china, gold accents, and cheeky artwork by David Shrigley that you can literally buy off the wall! Oh, and the craziest selection of tea to remind you that you’re absolutely, definitely in London (note: the English love tea)(it’s a very serious thing there, even especially if drunk in an entirely pink room).
The restaurant, designed by India Mahdavi, is modern in ways but the old world charm remains (just look at that ceiling!), the mini cakes are heavenly, and the luminescent pink is something altogether… So, the love affair lives on.
Don’t you wish you were there right now? Enjoying tea (and champagne!), and sinking back into that plush, pink couch..

Oh oui! la décoratrice est India Mahdavi. Tout ce qu’elle fait est délicieux: Original, ‘daring’ et doux.

I love pastel pink! The photos are so beautiful and the jewellery and the clutches are amazing!

My favourite rose item just now: this little handbag from Zara.. https://solforsythe.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/little-nude/ – it would blend in perfectly here!
Up until very recently, I was very ambivalent (if not just negative) about pink. I used to say it was for babies and old ladies. Not nice, I know. The pinks here, and the pinks all over the place these days, are a different thing. They’re really gorgeous. I’m rethinking… Great and beautiful piece.

C’est comme un film de Wes Anderson
Un peu too much à mon goût ce déversement de rose ! Mais au moins, c’est original !!
Hello!
What a cute place! Even looking at those pictures has mad my heart sing (and I am not crazy about pink, not at all).
The thing that came to my mind when reading the article was that maybe when you exaggerate something so evidently and markedly, you might have a tendency to get familiar with it faster than if it came piece by piece.
Don’t you think? The first impression everybody probably feels when entering the Sketch is something like this: “Wow, it’s pink. It’s a pinkish pink!’ and after few seconds you realize how fascinating this pinkish pink is!
Definitely need to visit this place! But what am I going to wear? Oh yes, a fuchsia blouse. Not to disappoint the bigger sister Pink (just betray a little, huh) :)
Regards!

This is gorgeous – with the exact right amount of pink to compliment and be super cozy. Love the tea cup :)
Warm Regards,

wow, cute place!!!
Passa a trovarmi VeryFP
It looks tooo much in photos. But I’m sure that the uber-pinkness is super flattering to the complexion.
I think this is so beautiful! I wonder what an English gentleman would feel like being in such a feminine surrounding at tea time! Ha ha, a real man would not care at all!!!

C’est ravissant, même dans les détails : les dossiers des fauteuils semblent composés de grands biscuits boudoirs.
Par contre, non, définitivement non, le champagne ne se boit pas dans des coupes – sauf si on veut faire une fontaine – car les bulles et la subtilité de ses arômes s’en évaporent trop vite. Le champagne se boit dans des flûtes.
Belle journée
It’s Mayfair and not Regent Street area
C’est très joli, mais j’ai comme même du mal à imaginer un homme prendre un thé dans ce restaurant. Il y aurait quelque chose d’incongrue avec tous ce rose vous ne trouvez pas les filles ?
Très joli en effet :) j’aime bien le rose, dans sa version poudrée, mais il m’a fallu du temps pour l’admettre ^^.

What a lovely place! I dream to go there, even if I think that a person who doesn’t like pink could easily get headache after 15 minutes!
And the jewelry in the photos… so beautiful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your pearl bracelet! Can you tell me where you found it?!
On dirait des fauteuils en biscuit “langue de chat” rose..! Sublime.
So in love with this! I’ve always loved rose and pinks. And have it throughout my home and wardrobe… It’s so warm and happy. Now you must visit the Chagall Museum in Nice…
It looks really pretty ! cute place!!!
There i a french champagne cookie/biscuit… They make a delicious desert V……. Maybe this was her inspiration…..
