    By Sara Bliss on January 6, 2014
    Berners Tavern at the new London Edition is the buzzy it-restaurant of the moment, but beyond Michelin-starred  chef Jason Atherton’s menu, it’s the art that has people talking. The soaring space features over 180 photographs displayed gallery style. Schrager and his design team collaborated with  Trunk Archive to select an amazing array of images. The bonus is that many of the photographs […]
