On a leafy corner of Napier street, in Melbourne’s bustling northside suburb of Fitzroy sits Ritz&Ghougassian’s masterfully designed Bentwood café. The buzzing ambience of the café breathes an energy as you enter the front door – the space feels alive. When restaurateur Julien Moussi approached architect Gilad Ritz and interior designer Jean-Paul Ghougassian to design his newest café, the common goal was to bring this space to life with a recognition and appreciation of its past.
