Art and design

[edit]

Sexy Fish was designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.[5] The restaurant houses installations from international names in the worlds of architecture, art, and fashion, including 19 of Frank Gehry’s iconic Fish Lamps, which hang above the bar and a 4-metre-long (13 ft) glossy black silicone crocodile also designed by the architect.[6] Two patinated bronze mermaids as well as a large bronze relief panel by Damien Hirst adorn the bar.[7] The ceiling mural was designed by Michael Roberts,[8] who served as Style Editor-at-Large of Vanity Fair.[9] The restaurant also has floors of Esmeralda onyx marble from Iran.[10]
