Caravan II, 2017

This all-day diner is located in the bustling Gangnam district of Seoul. The owners, who had previously lived in Australia, wanted the high-ceilinged, 120m2 space to reflect their experience of the eclecticism of multicultural Australia. In particular, the interior takes inspiration from 1950s Italian cafés, the masterly clashes of materials including many different types of marble, bespoke timber joinery and custom-designed lighting. All fittings are hand-crafted by master artisans; while furniture and art was sourced from Australia, this collaborative spirit manifesting the very essence of hospitality.
