Reimagining Material Integrity with Havwoods at the Heart
When designing Grilandia, a refined dining destination in the heart of Mayfair, our studio sought materials that would reflect the brand’s values of organic elegance and grounded sophistication. How Havwoods PurePanel elevated a quiet luxury restaurant in Mayfair lies in its ability to bring warmth, tactility, and environmental integrity into the space — all without overpowering the calm atmosphere we set out to create. Its soft oak tone, FSC certification, and pre-finished quality made it an ideal choice for a project that demanded both beauty and responsibility.
Chosen for its tactile quality, visual warmth, and sustainable construction, PurePanel became a material anchor throughout the interior. More than a cladding — it helped shape the spatial narrative of Grilandia, defining the atmosphere, supporting brand values, and enhancing guest experience.
Why PurePanel in Brienne?
We specified Havwoods PurePanel in Brienne for several reasons, each deeply aligned with the project’s ethos:
FSC-certified, low-waste production – supporting our studio’s sustainability-first approach
Pre-finished veneer panel – saving on-site time and reducing environmental impact
Soft oak tones and natural texture – contributing to a palette of calm, cohesion, and elegance
Durable and high-performance – ideal for high-traffic hospitality interiors
The Brienne finish offered a perfect balance of refinement and subtlety, elevating walls and feature joinery while remaining tonally in harmony with other organic materials used in the space.
Designing for Sensory Connection
Grilandia was envisioned as a dining sanctuary in Mayfair — a retreat from the city’s pace and noise. We designed the interior with tactility, tone, and emotional rhythm as top priorities.
Havwoods’ PurePanel was used prominently on feature walls and fluted vertical elements, acting as both a visual and sensory cue. Its natural grain provided an organic backdrop that worked seamlessly with:
Travertine-effect stone
Natural woven upholstery
Hand-thrown ceramic details
This careful layering of texture — grounded by the consistent, calming quality of the PurePanel — helped create an environment that feels unified, warm, and deeply considered.
Bespoke Banquette + Material Harmony
At the heart of the dining area is a custom-designed banquette, crafted in-house and upholstered in natural fabrics. Its scalloped form introduces movement and softness, and sits directly in conversation with the fluted oak walls clad in Havwoods PurePanel.
The result is a rich visual rhythm where vertical and horizontal lines echo each other, reinforcing balance and harmony. The pairing of tactile oak cladding and soft, inviting seating is a direct expression of the studio’s approach to quiet, grounded luxury.
Sustainability in Practice
This project prioritised sustainable interior design from concept to construction. We worked exclusively with trusted partners like Accanto Construction and materials that reflected our values.
Havwoods’ PurePanel in Brienne checked every box:
Ethically sourced
Environmentally responsible
Visually sophisticated
Technically reliable
Its use contributed to both reduced construction impact and long-term durability — key for a busy hospitality setting.
The Result: A Grounded, Organic Luxury
Grilandia stands as a celebration of material integrity, design clarity, and emotional experience. Havwoods’ PurePanel played a pivotal role in expressing that vision — quietly reinforcing the brand’s identity through form, tone, and feel.
In a landscape of interiors often driven by surface statements, this project proves the value of authentic materials and thoughtful partnerships. Through PurePanel, we achieved a finish that is rich, calm, and timeless — not just beautiful to look at, but meaningful to inhabit.
