TATTu | MAnchesTer, u.K.
Once a relative nOvelty, body tattoos have gone
mainstream. That fact was driven home to British
restaurateur Adam Jones during several trips to America's West Coast in recent years. Back in the U.K., he
teamed with designer Edwin Pickett to create a restaurant in Manchester where body art takes center stage.
"The celebration of individuality and self-expression
that tattooing represents has flooded commercial
markets over recent years, with even the most celebrated brands and fashion houses utilizing the art
form as part of marketing campaigns to engage today's
consumers," Jones notes. "Body art connects people, so
it felt very natural to apply this concept to the hospitality industry."
Brought on board to make that connection in the
design of the Tattu restaurant was Pickett, whose firm
has created several other restaurants and bars in
Manchester, as well as elsewhere in the U.K. "Tattu tells
a story, taking customers from the historical Eastern
roots of the art form across the oceans and into the
expansive marketplace that it is today," says Pickett.
Moreover, as both men and women are sporting
tattoos, masculine and feminine references are interlaced throughout the 5,400-sq.-ft. space, which
formerly housed a variety of retail and office businesses over the years. For example, the restaurant's
main dining room is dominated by a 13-ft.-tall ersatz
cherry tree featuring hand-sewn silk blossoms that's
counterbalanced by rectangular skyscraper chandeliers. Similarly, the restaurant's curvaceous banquettes
contrast with stylized ship anchors suspended from
heavy ropes.
The overall effect, says Jones, is a visually saturated
environment that's both playful and functional.
