Sketch was born out of a creative friendship between Mazouz and French chef Pierre Gagnaire. Together, they opened the space as ‘a destination for experimentation’, taking over a 1779 building designed by James Wyatt. A storied location, 9 Conduit street hosted a variety of institutions over the years, including the Royal Institute of British Architects and a headquarters of the suffragette movement in the early 20th century, while at some point it served as the London atelier of Christian Dior.
Mazouz continues: ‘It took me four years to open Sketch. I gathered everything I knew at the time in one place: contemporary art, video, cooking, music and drinks. There was no specific outcome or mission.’
