Le Champignon Sauvage
The Personification of Style
Published on Tuesday, 15 January, 2013
For David Everitt- Matthias, the chef and owner of Cheltenham’s only Michelin starred restaurant, Le Champignon Sauvage, unused place settings detracted from the beautifully styled interior of his restuarant. Familiar with the work of LoCo Glass, David challenged the team to design glass plate covers to sit at these unused settings.
Following detailed consultation with David, Colin set to work creating an item that would reflect the status of the restaurant. Once a design was agreed, a selection of colour-ways were created and taken to the restaurant for David and his wife, Helen, to review in-situ. With real samples to hand, rather than colour charts or glass chips, the restauranteur couple were able to lay the table up as it would be using the plate covers which ensured that the final decision was one they were completely confident in.
LoCo Glass produced 30 bespoke, handcrafted plate covers for the restaurant and continue to work with the restaurant producing replacements as needed.
David said of the experience; “I have long been an admirer of Colin’s work. The pieces he creates are both elegant and timeless; in short the personification of style.”
