The Budapest Café in Melbourne, inspired by Wes Anderson's visual style, features a modern design that creates an immersive, gallery-like experience with bold colors and earthy tones, completed in 2020.

Filmmaker Wes Anderson’s idiosyncratic visual style inspired the design of The Budapest Café in Melbourne, which follows the success of The Budapest Café in Chengdu, China. Drawing on our appetite for modern abstract art, design and hospitality, we evolved the design experience to create an immersive, gallery-like experience. Minimising the built form maximised the space and the impact of colour in the imaginative and evocative space. Bold, offbeat elements encourage patrons to engage with the design, and the natural earthy palette exudes warmth, texture and character and reflects the local design sensibility.

“In working with Biasol studio we were able to create a unique design style for Grind which we were able to evolve progressively over the nine venues in the last five years. The design has definitely played a critical role in helping us establish who we are and the quality of what our brand stands for today. Jean-Pierre and his team are delightful to work with, their attention to detail – second to none.”

David Abrahamovitch, Founder and CEO Grind & Co
