House of Baby transforms Brixton restaurant Banh Banh into immersive artwork

Design studio House of Baby has redesigned the interior of Vietnamese restaurant Banh Banh in Brixton, London, as an immersive artwork. The project, led by founders Joseph Losper and Tomio Shota, draws on modernist architecture such as Saigon's Independence Palace. The narrow building near Brixton station and Brixton Market inspired a layout with two group dining rooms emphasizing communal eating. A pink-tiled Vietnamese shrine greets visitors at the entrance. Shota created wall paintings using materials like metal leaf, sand, iron oxide, and powdered shells. The space also features a hand-painted folding screen, wool tapestries, and ceramic sculptures by head of operations AP Nguyen. The color palette references Vietnamese modernist architecture. The redesign marks the relaunch of Banh Banh's menu.
