PappaRich engaged Auckland-based studio Hellospace to design the interior of their latest restaurant, located in Christchurch’s Westfield Riccarton.
Experienced in designing hospitality and retail spaces across New Zealand, lead designer Bridget Taylor transformed the 300sqm space into a modern and inviting restaurant which spoke to their brand identity whilst adhering to the functional requirements of a busy shopping mall.
A variety of design elements were utilised to reflect the brand's Malaysian origins, including the brass accents and green tones found throughout the space. “These colours were used to add warmth and character … The brass elements add a touch of luxury and sophistication, while the green tones add a sense of freshness and nature,” says Bridget.
Verdant shades of green envelope the space; from the teal painted ceiling to the indoor plants and emerald and forest green upholsteries. “The green tones in the fabrics helped to reinforce the brand's identity while also creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for customers. Additionally, the earthy tones in the fabrics helped create a natural and organic feeling, which was in line with the brief's desire for a refreshing and relaxing environment.”
