Kitchen by Mike is a beautiful canteen style restaurant located on the premises of Koskela, one of Sydney’s best design showrooms. No wonder that this restaurant/cafe is very stylishly decorated!

A lot of designer furniture and accessories have been used such as the oversize rattan lamps from Gervasoni (last image).

The unique tables are made from wood industrial stools.

Kitchen by Mike is a great place to have lunch or lunch when you are ‘in the neighbourhood’. More information can be found here.

Sydney is one of my favorite cities in the world. On my list of places to visit during my next holiday here is Mark Tuckey’s new homewares store in Avalon, Sydney.

Mark Tuckey designs gorgeous solid timber furniture in his workshop in Melbourne. They have showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne with an ever-changing collection of over 300 cutting edge and modern classic designs.

Here they sell everything from chairs, tables and cabinets, to beds, storage and outdoor furniture, from new and recycled, predominantly Australian timbers – all made in our Melbourne workshop by our team of 15 experienced furniture makers.
