Convivial Melbourne

Society is a restaurant that is designed to invite you back again and again.

Designed for restaurateur Chris Lucas, the design has been thoughtfully created as a series of interconnected chambers, the transitions between the rooms are as important as the rooms themselves allowing patrons to be drawn into the next space & explore the next experience.
