We’re constantly in awe of the incredible ideas coming out of the world of retail and hospitality interior design. Over the last few years we’ve seen an influx of creative new minds enter the field who are redefining the concept and making their own rules. The latest inspiring example of innovative interior commercial design is the new Maedaya Grill & Sake bar in Melbourne, created by local design studio Architects Eats. The sushi restaurant’s interior, much of which is “bound” by ropes, demonstrates the possibility of using ordinary recyclable material for hospitality projects withoutcompromising sophistication.
The rope idea originated from the classic design of sake bottles, which are traditionally secured with ropes. The principle material for this project consists of Manila ropes, timber and concrete. Materials had to reflect on natural elements such as vegetation and earth. EASTAS took a different path with first floor function room, which is in stark contrast with the ground floor “rope” room. Here they have created a modern, minimalist space with white washed walls, Japanese black stained timber flooring, simple timber benches and raw stainless steel canopies. By Lisa Evans
