Yari Club

Royffe Flynn designed the Yari Club, a yakitori restaurant in Covent Garden, blending traditional Japanese street bar elements with a contemporary flair. Central to the design is an electric rotating yakitori grill showcased in the front window, inviting passersby with a glimpse of the culinary action. The interior features black bricks and stainless steel bars, evoking the ambiance of classic yakitori joints. Cherry wood-clad walls, lightboxes, and globe lights add warmth and authenticity, while stools and hanging fabric banners complete the look. Graphic design by Studio Ninety One complements the aesthetic, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that pays homage to the vibrant street food culture of Japan with a modern twist.
