Brief: RGI International approached Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands and food consultants Ford McDonald on the basis of their experience bringing life to the notoriously underperforming upper floors of department stores: they have transformed Harvey Nichols in London, Edinburgh and Manchester and the acclaimed La Rinascente in Milan, and are designers of London’s 90s icon - the OXO Tower Restaurant Bar and Brasserie.
