A French-style interior in a chicken shop and cafe in Sydney uses layered geometries to create an inviting space for diners. Interior design studio Luchetti Krelle were appointed to bring a fresh and modern take on the classic Australian chicken shop in this suburban shopping mall in Menai in Sydney’s South.
Their approach makes use of a variety of textures and colours layered to create a sense of elegance that is also calm and inviting. Concrete, terrazzo, timber and copper all feature in this interior, with bespoke lighting, joinery and upholstery adding to the character of the space. A white backdrop is given depth thanks to pale pink, navy blue, duck egg green and warm mustard yellow.
The round backs of the Piper chairs by Australian designers Nick Karlovasitis and Sarah Gibson from Design by Them mimic the round stitching detail of the mustard yellow banquette seating detail stitch, while the vertical lines in the chair’s back echo the vertical lines in the wall panelling and counter tiles. These vertical lines are what give the interiors a French feel.
“The treatment to the existing shopfront took its inspiration from the French architecture and underlines the intersection of French and Australian cuisine that is eminent for the recipes on show,” says Stuart Krelle from Luchetti Krelle.
This pairing of Australian interior design with Australian furniture design has resulted in an impressive space that elevates its suburban mall setting.
