Martin Brudnizki

Martin Brudnizki’s love for design started at a young age. His mother was a stylist and his father a mechanical engineer; the combination of these elements embedded a deep understanding of aesthetics alongside a grounding in functionality. He enrolled at The American University in London to study Interior Architecture where he was deeply inspired by an eclectic range of architects and designers, including Carlo Scarpa, Paul Dupree-Lafon and Dorothy Draper. Following a number of successful positions at renowned interior design firms, Martin established his eponymous studio in London in 2000 and a New York Studio in 2012. Through this experience Martin Brudnizki has acquired a high level of expertise in the design and realisation of high-profile and luxury schemes, always reducing the complexity of any project to simple design solutions.

Martin Brudnizki – Linnaean

Situated in the exciting new Nine Elms development, Linnaean is a new wellness salon and cafe concept designed by Martin Brudnizki. Named after the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus – the father of modern taxonomy, Linnaean embodies the pioneering spirit of Linnaeus, breathing new life into the luxury salon and beauty treatment scene. Through introducing a casual dining concept, visitors are encouraged to relax and luxuriate in the comfort of Linnaean, extending their stay and reaping the benefits of the relaxing ambience. Split across two floors, Linnaean offers a hair salon, treatment rooms, manicure and pedicure stations, a retail area and a standalone café. Utilising clean lines with a fresh colour palette of greens and soft coral tones, the whole space feels welcoming, bright and enriching. Limed timber, rattan and woven leather bring a tactile element to the design whilst vibrant ceramic tiles and terrazzo stone ensure the look is refreshing and contemporary. Soft upholstery, featuring botanic motifs, a nod to Linnaean’s distinctive heritage and contemporary artwork by female artists complete the look.

Inspired by the elegance and sophistication of Fortnum & Mason’s iconic Piccadilly store, Martin Brudnizki helped the Royal grocers introduce their brand to Asia. Situated in the ultra-modern K11 Musea on Hong Kong’s picturesque Victoria Harbour, the new Fortnum & Mason stands as a beacon of English hospitality in a burgeoning market. Split across two floors, with panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline, Fortnum & Mason comprises a full shop floor and a separate restaurant, 181, serving lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Blending together the original store’s Georgian design influences with eastern inflexions, moments of joy and innovation, the shop floor effectively contrasts against the ultra-modern external architecture. A ruby red woollen carpet flows throughout and pops against eau-de-nil walls and brings to life the innovative display items, including a fresh pass, tea counter and whimsical champagne display. Ascending a sweeping staircase with hand-painted mural detailing by Melissa White, guests will arrive at 181 Restaurant. The restaurant is filled with natural light, thanks to fully-glazed windows and a soft colour palette of pale green which tones effortlessly against a striking cream and gold veined marble at the bar. Pops of burnt orange leather and a unique art collection create a sense of harmony and elegance, encouraging guests to sit back and relax.

Antique reclaimed oak floors, simple yet strong whites and light greys on the walls alongside wood panelling provide an elegant back-drop from where the cast iron and stone staircase with Belle Epoch detailing, tall leather doors and polished brass light fixtures offer eye-catching details; symbolising the synthesis of the modern and classical styles that these apartments embody.

Debuting its first UK opening, Smith & Wollensky is a 300-cover American steak restaurant situated in the Adelphi Building behind The Strand.
