LEERIE

Book

Leerie is a fictional wine bar on a real street, built by Quire Studio to show what a restaurant website can feel like. The business, its people, menu, prices and dates are invented; the facts about Stockbridge, Stevenson and the calendar are real.

Every photograph below is from Wikimedia Commons and has been colour-graded and relit by the site’s lighting engine (a change to the original). A restaurant using this design would swap in its own photographs of its room, food and people.
