Eat Out London!Esca
Esca has been a project close to Sami's heart; as it is a gathering place which the community have enjoyed for many years.
It is Sami's wish with the current re-design to reveal a much more comfortable space that morphs from day through night highlighting the wish of the local punters of authentic Anglo-Italian food and design at incredible value.
The idea of a riverlike shape snaking its way along the 19-metre length of the restaurant was suggested.
These are drawn directly onto the surface with pen, brush and spray paint and include early grills and cooking utensils, diagrams showing the science of water-flow and fire, how things combust, equations explaining the often overlooked, the technology of the canal, water-system symbolism, and strangely named fish hooks.
Their layered surfaces depict now extinct dry riverbeds from our moon, Mars and the moons of Saturn.
