A transfer like “air with air” 
The challenge was to put rough-edged every day life in a dignified Sussex Drive building and offer excellent comfort -a game of chess, maybe? under fans on a 14 foot high ceiling. The feel of a new suit without expectations. A cafe in an impressive restaurant setting.
