The East Beach Cafe
This beach cafe is no ordinary seaside kiosk – rising like a piece of weatherworn driftwood washed up on Littlehampton’s east-beach – it is both familiar and alien to its coastal surroundings.

Its rippling form conjures up a wide variety of visual metaphors.
Thomas Heatherwick, the designer, opted for naturally finished materials that respond well to the local environment.
