Drawing inspiration from Paris, the interior of the cafe features eye-catching wallpaper features of famous Renaissance paintings, and uses the blue, red and white of the French flag as color highlights.

Copper and brass metallic vintage lights hang throughout, with brass pendants above the main counter.
Blue feather-shaped ceramic tiles create a handcrafted and detailed finish on the main bar and back bar wall in the open-plan kitchen.

The bulkhead above the service area hides the ventilation system, and is made from a perforated, patterned, and acoustically treated board in dark blue. On the floor, simple concrete screed flooring has been combined with custom blue and white hexagon tiles decorated with the cafe’s logo.
