A new Wagamama interior design:
Wagamama Dubai Marina Mall: We were super delighted to have our latest Wagamama Store project opening featured in the press. It is featured in our favorite local interior design publication, Commercial Interior Design. The feature discusses our store beautifully and the images captured by Phil Handforth really does our design justice.
You can view the article here. In the article you can see how we used so much wood and different textures to give our design life. It’s a really well written piece. Wagamama is designed by FINCH throughout the region and this Dubai Marina Mall Wagamama is our 7th store for the brand. As Restaurant Interior Designers in Dubai, we love to work with international brands as well as one off concepts and local brands. Creating truly awesome work that clients, customers, we and the press love!
Wagamama Interior Dubai Marina Mall:
From the article:
Dubai-based interior design and branding firm, FINCH has recently completed its latest Wagamama project in Dubai. Located in Marina Mall, the project marks Studio EM’s third commission in the UAE for the brand following outlets at The Dubai Mall and Zero 6 Mall in Sharjah and their sixth store in the region, including one in Muscat.
The interior design at Dubai Marina Mall branch follows a similar style to that in The Dubai Mall outlet but with a distinct identity in the form of its striking shop front design.
Using natural materials throughout, the design team has created a minimalist concept where streamlined spaces are highlighted exclusively with the materials. The exposed ceiling and brick columns provide an industrial accent, yet complement the wooden details in the furniture and wall panelling.
Nicola Fahy, head of F&B design at FINCH comments: “ I love working with Wagamama as a brand and as an international franchise, unlike most franchise brands, there’s a lot of scope to play with the design and composition of each store, so long as they look and feel like a Wagamama. With each store we take on, I always identify the shop front as my area to make a mark. We never design two stores that look the same. Each has its own unique character and a point of difference but still feels and embodies all the authenticity of the brand.”
Co-founder and creative director, Emma Stinson, shares that Fahy is particularly adept at detailing joinery, as seen in the extensive use of wood throughout the eatery. Munawel Interiors worked on the execution of the joinery. Previously, it had collaborated with FINCH on the Wagamama outlet in The Dubai Mall.
