Josef Frank Fabrics at c/o The Maidstone

Get The Look: Cecconi’s Lights at Soho Beach House
By Sara Bliss on January 15, 2013A while back I wrote about the design at Cecconi’s, the hotspot restaurant at Soho Beach House. With silver buttonwood trees, twinkling lights and long George Smith Chesterfield sofas for lounging over dinner, designer Vicky Charles did a wonderful job of creating a dreamy, relaxed vibe. Cecconi’s provides so much design inspiration, from pulling up a sofa to your dining […]
