Fico Wine Bar
544 Bourke St, Surry Hills
2009
Fico Bar
Inspired by the raw, honesty approach of early 20th Century Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz and the memory of a smokey boudoir which we heard about but could never find, we began peeling back the layers of the once legendary 'Café Nicky' whilst carefully inserting a 'constructed', almost hand-made interior.
The palette of materials is a little expected, a little eclectic; formwork plywood, copper and bronze, cow hide, pressed tin, electrical and plumbing components, kangaroo skin and paint.
Oh, and check out the cute toilets!
Collaboration with Sam Spurr and artist Renata Pari.
