Melissa Collison is one of our favourite designers and we’re delighted to have seen Saké Flinders Lane shortlisted for a 2016 Eat Drink Design Award. The Melbourne venue is the third Saké restaurant Melissa has applied her designer touch to, along with The Rocks and Double Bay, helping to create the dynamic and contemporary image and atmosphere of the award-winning restaurant group.

Luchetti & Krelle designed the original Saké Restaurant & Bar in The Rocks, Sydney, which Melissa recently refurbished with the addition of bamboo chandelier pendants, Koi-fish upholstery, and a fantastic conceptualisation of a modern geisha as a contemporary backdrop across the entire back wall. Melissa used one of the restaurant waitresses as her muse and directed a photography shoot that would inform an iconic motif throughout all the Saké venues.
