Crab Shack

Posted on Thu, 10 Apr 2014 by midcenturyjo

Something about restaurant and retail design has been pulling me in lately. Inspiration can be found everywhere. It seems I’m still not over the recycled, chippy paint boards trend. The Crab Shack (New Zealand) by HBO+EMTB via the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.

I’m eating out

Posted on Fri, 31 Jan 2014 by KiM

Magda of Polish firm 2kul Interior Design emailed us the other day – it had been a while since she shared some of their work with us (check out this home and these apartments). They work on alot of commercial projects as well, and these are 2 restaurants they completed recently. This first one is a Vegan restaurant in Wrocław called Machina Organika – the tile is gorgeous, and I love the wooden beamed ceiling, adorable wire pendant shades and black painted arches.

This one is a bar and restaurant called Sofa, located in Jelenia Góra. That exposed brick is to die for (I need some in my life), and the black ceilings with the black tufted banquette and chairs make it HOT. It has a mobster sort of vibe that would totally have me hanging out here for a drink or 4.

Hello yellow

Guaranteed to put as much pep in your stride as the caffeine you’re about to down. A slap in the face dose of yellow at Hams & Bacon at Pope Joan designed by Figure Ground. Can you imagine this in a domestic kitchen, a bathroom? Wow!

Getting inspiration down at the pub

Posted on Thu, 19 Dec 2013 by midcenturyjo

We don’t always feature hospitality design on Desire to Inspire but when there are so many ideas that can translate easily to a smaller, more intimate domestic space then we just have to share. I’m dipping into the portfolio of Sydney design firm Alexander & CO again. Their design for The Sunset Room at Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel is as beautiful as it is functional. Coastal chic mixed with the found and the vintage all with a limited palette layered with texture. Colour provided by flowers and foliage in bright green demijohns draws the eye from space to space. Talk about getting inspiration down at the pub.

Restaurante Sexto

A huge thanks to David Zafra for sending us these photos of Restaurante Sexto in Madrid. David is responsible for the interior design and I can honestly say it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever seen. The neutral colour palette is so soothing and his selection of modern seating is perfection. If the décor is this amazing the food must be heavenly!
