Eddy and Wolff by Design Poets

The brief for the fitout of this Japanese bar and restaurant on the Gold Coast was to make diners feel as if they had been instantly “transported to a Japanese bar.” Brisbane-based Design Poets has created a graphically strong design that is both memorable and intimate. A strong material palette of concrete, dark timber and concrete-polished plaster is tempered with pink suede and clever lighting, while curved walls on each side of the fitout soften the angular elements. A mirrored bulkhead gives a glamorous crown to the space. Photography — Andy Macpherson Design Poets — designpoets.com.au
