Anchovy Restaurant in Melbourne’s Richmond by Fiona Lynch.

Fiona Lynch Interior Design Studio has refurbished the interior of Anchovy restaurant in Melbourne’s Richmond. Owners Jia-Yen and Thi Le wished to create an interior which reflected their Asian Australian cuisine. Fiona Lynch and her team set out to create a hospitality interior that felt relaxed, modern and crafted.

Materials are layered in a rich way, offset by a minimal approach to detailing. The palette of granite, brass, leather and striking mustard stone, sit on top of existing timber floor painted in a deep lacquered aubergine. Crimson silk curtain gently greets the visitors at entry, while the imperfect edge of the half-painted wall wraps around the room, adding a touch of craft. Classic Thonet timber chairs and stools layer the space with just the right amount of warmth and a subtle nod to the past.
