Loti St Kilda (VIC)

Project overview: Loti St Kilda sits on The Esplanade at the Saint Moritz development, designed as a venue that shifts from a casual terrace drink to a cosy dinner setting as the day moves into night. We supported the fit-out with commercial hospitality furniture and custom manufacture, including outdoor booth seating built for high-use service and Melbourne weather exposure.

The interior concept uses soft, curving forms that shape key moments of the venue (including bar and banquette seating), while the outdoor zone keeps the “European terrace” feel with comfortable, social seating that works for long dwell times.

FAQs

Do you manufacture custom outdoor booth seating for hospitality venues?

Yes. We build custom booth seating to suit the layout, covers, and circulation. We also guide finishes and upholstery options suited to outdoor and semi-outdoor zones.

Can you help with specification, finishes, and lead times?

Yes. We support designers and operators with finish selection, samples, product schedules, and lead time planning so the furniture aligns with the programme and performance needs.

What furniture works best for terrace and high-turnover dining?

Look for easy-clean surfaces, stable bases, and commercial-grade frames. The right chair comfort and table heights also lift dwell time and guest experience.
