Location: Melbourne, VIC

Type of Development: Hospitality

St Kilda’s Cafe Rosco has received a contemporary facelift from the interiors division of Plus Architecture.

Charcoal tones and horizontal timber wall cladding create a warm, rustic atmosphere.

The space was redesigned while keeping the strengths of the existing features in mind, such as stripping the white paint on the back wall cladding and adding a subtle varnish to bring out the warmth of the natural timber.

A white and black graphic was projected onto the wall and painted on as a cost-effective alternative to wallpaper.

“This project is an excellent example of a fit-out reflecting the relaxed feel of a Melbourne restaurant blended with the vibrancy of the cafe’s owners,” said Interior Design Leader Michael Edwards.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
