About the location
Grounds Keeper Café sits within Melbourne’s major sports and entertainment precinct, with a patron mix that changes across weekdays, training days, and large event peaks. The furniture solution needed to feel like a café first, while still performing like a stadium hospitality venue when crowds arrive.
How the furniture was selected
Designed by Ewert Leaf, the interior references the athletic surroundings and the colour language of stadium seating across the precinct. We supported the selection with a focus on hospitality-grade durability, comfortable sit, and finishes that maintain their look under constant use.
