East Beach Cafe




We went to this new beach side cafe in littlehampton today for lunch. It is designed by Thomas Heatherwick who is one of my favourite architects/designers at the moment. The cool sculptural shape (which has been likened to drift wood washed up by the shore) is made out of a rusted mild steel monocoque shell. Having looked at many photos of the building prior to the visit I was really surprised at its slender size, but my adoration of the design was not altered, plus - they have really good fish and chips which is always a nice bonus!
