The inspiration stems from the look of Parisian bistros and this project is done for chef Jackson Boxer. Found on the ground floor of the hotel, Henri serves a menu of [classic French dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frenchinspired-stake) that have a British flair. Boxer's cooking also influences the interior design. The designer explained to Dezeen, "We have designed an interior that mixes the relaxed style of a traditional British pub with the elegance of a typical [French brasserie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mon-nuage)." Meilichizon continues, "We have used some art nouveau elements typical in a brasserie: the detail on the arms of the banquettes, frosted glass globes, Thonet chairs and bespoke organic suspensions."
