The Tangent’s approach to commercial and retail interior design is essentially practical. So whether a project involves a restaurant, retail concept or leisure environment, our starting point is always the same: the food, the product or the function of the space must lead design thinking.

The first step is to establish a detailed brief, clearly outlining client requirements and expectations. Our experience of catering and retail design enables us to incorporate any equipment, point of sale facilities, signing and display systems into a functional, practical layout, without compromising our creativity and dramatic flair.

At an early stage we link up with the graphics and point of sale design side of our group to ensure continuity of approach and visual language. Strong spatial planning skills enable us to balance the requirement for fluid traffic flow with the need to create inviting, sympathetic environments. Small and intimate, grand and imposing, funky and chic (or any variation in-between) are all within our remit.

We have all the right contacts to ensure that once the concept and planning stages are complete, the necessary services, suppliers and contractors can be brought on board to deliver the required result.
