# Artful Sculptural Bistros Holy Carrot by Studio Toogood Reworks a Spitalfields Restaurant By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carrot-1 References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/04/09/studio-toogood-holy-carrot-spitalfields-interior-design/)  Holy Carrot by [Studio Toogood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-far) is a restaurant interior in Spitalfields, London, designed as a materially driven bistro within a [former bank building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lina-stores-1). The project was developed by Studio Toogood, led by Faye Toogood, for restaurateur Irina Linovich and chef Daniel Watkins. The space translates the restaurant’s plant-led menu into a physical environment using raw and tactile materials such as linoleum, canvas, wood, and tile. The layout combines dining, lounge, and kitchen areas within a single open room, anchored by a large hand-painted mural featuring [oversized mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grybova-hata) and figures. Custom furniture and sculptural elements are integrated throughout, including paper-based lighting, canvas curtains, and textured seating. The material palette draws from the surrounding Georgian architecture, using deep brown tones and muted finishes across surfaces.
