Hopper Joint 餐厅丨澳大利亚墨尔本丨Brahman Perera

经过8年的筹备，Hopper Joint于2024 年初开业，其定位是为所有进门的人创造一个充满活力的环境。这里曾是一家钢琴酒吧，需要进行大规模的翻新和修复。Brahman Perera利用自己的斯里兰卡血统，设计了一个既能真实反映其家族习俗，又能反映墨尔本这座多元化城市人们饮食和社交方式的现代文化空间。

A project of 8 years in the making, Hopper Joint opened in early 2024 positioning itself on creating a spirited environment for all who walk through the door. A former piano bar, the site required a major refurbishment and restoration throughout. Perera parlayed his Sri Lankan heritage into designing a space that felt honest and indicative of his familial customs, but also the contemporary culture of how people eat and socialize in the diverse city of Melbourne.

Hopper Joint重新诠释了Geoffrey Bawa 所代表的热带现代主义风格，并结合了Perera 所擅长的更具个人特色的美学。餐厅内摆放着定制的藤椅、手工吹制的琥珀色玻璃器皿和刺绣的金盏花亚麻餐巾，这些都是从斯里兰卡生产和进口的。

Hopper Joint reimagines the tropical modernist style synonymous with Geoffrey Bawa, combined with a more personal aesthetic that Perera is known for. The space features custom made rattan chairs, hand blown amber glassware and embroidered marigold linen serviettes all produced and imported from Sri Lanka.

独具匠心、异想天开的石膏手 “灯 ”是对古典巴拉特那提亚姆舞蹈的致敬。悉尼艺术家 Max Rixon 制作。低速缓慢旋转的 藤扇、深血红色的软木地板、古董印度水晶琥珀色吊灯和柚木百叶窗，唤起了人们对科伦坡和古典殖民时期小木屋的回忆。科伦坡和斯里兰卡南部茶乡高处的经典殖民时期平房。

Unique and whimsical plaster hand ‘lights’ act as a homage to the classical Bharatanatyam dancing that Perera grew up around, made by Sydney based artist Max Rixon. Low and slow rotating rattan fans, deep blood-red cork floors, antique Indian crystal amber chandeliers, and teak timber shutters evoke the essence of Colombo and the classic colonial bungalows found high up in the Tea Country of southern Sri Lanka.
