Immersive Hospitality
Using design to conceive a complete hospitality journey; from the moment the guest enters through the door, every detail and touch point is considered. From what the staff are wearing, to the interior, how the food is presented, to the music playing in the background, the design of the menus … we define a feeling, an emotional landscape, within which we craft an experience.
“We define a feeling, an emotional landscape, within which we craft an experience”
Tony Matters
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Founded by designer Tony Matters, in 2013, our approach places equal importance on the conception and realisation of an idea. Stemming from Tony’s background in designing and making;
‘During my training and early career, I spent as much time in the workshop as I did in front of a computer. The belief that an idea is only as good as its implementation has always been a strongly held belief. The fact that much of our work looks as good today as it did the day it was finished is, in my view, testament to our ability to create timeless interiors.’
Our Clients
We partner with some of the biggest brands in the hospitality industry, yet feel as much at home working for a passionate independent owner or chef. What unites all of our clients is the belief that design is a vital part of creating an exceptional customer experience.
Simon Rogan
MICHELIN STARRED CHEF
With design playing an increasingly important role in the presentation of food on Bocuse d’Or’s international stage, we’ve been delighted to partner with Faber for Team UK’s platter design. Over a period of four years, Tony and his team have developed a clear understanding of what makes a successful platter—both creatively and technically. This year, we’ve seen yet another significant step forward. The design for the platter demonstrates how a story can be told in the way we present food, elevating traditional British values while looking to the future with clarity and optimism.
We worked with Simon Rogan designing tableware during his tenure as President of the Bocuse d'Or for Team UK.
Aktar Islam
MICHELIN STARRED CHEF
"Having worked with Tony and the team at Faber on numerous projects, I’ve always been impressed with the end result of their work. They listen to my ideas and interpret my vision, yet also bring their own creativity to a project."
We worked with Aktar on the Indian fine dining restaurant, Lasan; we also created Izza, his sourdough pizza pop-up for Selfridges.
Adam Stokes
MICHELIN STARRED CHEF
"We’ve worked with Tony and the team at Faber for 8 years now over 3 projects. Each time, they have elevated the concept to an impressive level, really pushing the boundaries of design. Faber closely monitor the works on site to see the project through to its fruition, on time and to the highest standard. The support that Tony and the team have given us, has without a doubt helped us to progress at the restaurants."
We worked with Adam on his first ‘pop-up’, his flagship restaurant Adam’s and created his new seafood restaurant, The Oyster Club.
Andreas Antona
MICHELIN STARRED CHEF
"Tony and the team at Faber have done a fantastic job. As specialist F&B designers, they’ve definitely brought fresh ideas to the Bocuse d’Or; in fact I would go as far as to say this is the best platter design the UK has ever had. I look forward to working with them going forwards to continue their involvement in the future success of the Bocuse d’Or and team UK."
We worked with Andreas as part of the Bocuse d’Or Team UK.
