| 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. |
