Prototype assisted Brand and Slater Architects with custom dining banquette seats which were used as feature pieces in the Phoenix bar and lounge located in the Bracken Ridge Tavern. The brief was to create a booth style banquette seat suitable for dining with three different styles of removable cover fabrics, creating a relaxed style of dining ambience. The actual seat base was vinyl and the fabric covers came in a selection of colours and pattern. We also provided Shalimar lounges by Emu which were custom upholstered together with scattered cushions, low Wicker lounge chairs and drum teak tables to create a customised outdoor space.

Prototype has been providing furniture for Rydges Hotels with its rollout of properties in Queensland. Pictured is the Rise breakfast space at the Cairns site where Prototype provided table tops and Meg chairs from Rosetto. The Meg chair included a chrome four-leg base and Prototype had the upholstery completed in-house in Australia for the neat tub chair. The upholstery was completed in a contrast fabric on the back and front with a floral pattern chosen by the designer. The table tops were laminated with an ABS edge that looked like plywood and offered a solid top for durability. Elsewhere, the fitout varied in each of the sites, however, the underlying theme throughout the three hotels was to create a costal feeling.
