Bright + Lovely Restaurant.

This has to be one of the very first rooms I ever bookmarked back in the day. (And by “back in the day” I mean before I ever started blogging.) I’m not sure where it came from or who is responsible for the decorating, but my-oh-my it’s lovely. White, light gray and yellow is always such an eye-catching combination but the true star of this room is the natural lighting. Goes to show how it can make such a huge difference in a room’s ambiance. The tufted yellow booths and armchairs provide that extra little something that keeps me staring and wishing I owned such a place.

    Hey there!

    This is a project that was done by Melbourne based interior designers Hecker Phelan + Guthrie and Woods Bagot.

    The fitout is just immaculate. It's a hospitality fitout at the Ivy in Sydney.

    There are several spaces, bars, restaurants and lounges each with their own gorgeous identity. If you click on the HPG link and under hospitality the first ten photos are from the Ivy.

    Also check out images 14-16 of Bistro Guilliame – I love it (and I'm going there for dinner tonight! 🙂 )

    Enjoy,

    Adam

    This is truly a gem. Colours that never fade trend-wise. Love it! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!

    I so wish you knew where that was, because I really really want to go there! When I worked at Domino, I worked on a shoot featuring a restaurant that looked very very similar to this one, I'm going to dive into my tearsheets and see if I can figure this one out!

    It's so funny… This is totally not my style, but it's the kind of space that draws me, because I just can't look away – those pops of yellow..! And the pattern on those shades… I find myself being beckoned by pattern lately… Also so not me.

    Found you via lil bee. I think you'll accomplish all that's on your list. Hands down.
