Matt Moran’s much anticipated new restaurant development on the former Prunier’s site in Sydney’s leafy Woollahra, will launch this month with an identity and branding designed by leading agency Frost. The brief was to create a brand that would position the new restaurant, known as ‘Chiswick’ as a relaxed neighbourhood diner nestled in a unique, historic garden setting. The restaurant is housed in what was once the stable and gatehouse of a vast Victorian mansion estate. In its glory days, the Chiswick house was surrounded by over 1000 acres of spectacular formal gardens – what remains today is a small public park, Chiswick Gardens.

A new Museum called MUDAM (Museum of Modern Art- Grand Duc Jean, Luxembourg) opened in July 2006 in a building designed by Architect I.M Pei, an unfurling of mineral facades punctuated by slanted glass sides. Under one of these high glass roofs and in an adjacent room are located the restaurant and the shop of the Museum, which director Marie-Claude Beaud asked Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to design. The main challenge under the glass roof was to counteract a strong light both direct and reverberated by the floor.
