INTERIOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The original building draws on the rich and important chapter of Australian immigration – a haven for talking art and politics, and a room for sharing meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The floor is a monolithic polished shattered terrazzo with hidalgoite green oxide seams. An eclectic mix of Greek icons, 1850s oil paintings and 1960s neon prints as well as objects collected in curiosity shops and flea markets gild the whole, with an original and unused early 1950s floral-pattern Axminister broadloom carpet remade as a rug finishing the setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The seating is an assembly of Australian vintage boomerang lounges that sit alongside wireframe chairs and original decorative painted-metal screens. They sidle up to Kafka side tables and the Max Lamb designed nougat-like Marmoreal, an engineered marble subsequently fashioned by Molonglo Group and its collaborators into dining tables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
