Paul Mathis has been an avid collector of vintage and antique furniture and homewares for many years. He also has a strong environmental concern and it is these two personal loves that have been realised in his design of the interior for Firechief - as well as the adjoining Goldilocks Cafe.

A curated "rummage" through his warehouse treasure trove of wares now adorns the interior and exterior walls, ceilings and other fixtures at Firechief and Goldilocks.
With these two venues part of a family of six Paul is opening in the late part of 2011/early 2012, each one has inherited family traits - courtesy of recycled materials salvaged during the builds now common to each. We will leave it to you to work out what these are. You may also want to visit
Henry and the Fox, and the soon to be launched blogs for Akachochin and The Sharing House - both at
South Wharf Promenade, Melbourne's new culinary hub.

ReplyDeleteThanks Henry! Firechief was designed by Paul Mathis - who is also Firechief's restaurateur. Come and visit if you're ever in the area - we'd love to show you around.
