Project Overview

Meat & Wine Co Bligh Street

Truly extraordinary, COOOP.co’s masterful design blends traditional African design with modern hospitality to create a unique immersive dining experience. We are incredibly privileged to have been part of the team of talented suppliers to bring COOOP.co’s vision to life. The craftmanship, storytelling, detailing and commitment to authenticity throughout the space, is so impressive.


From the stunning bespoke fire pit to the custom-built acacia trees that bridge nature with design, every corner of the space tells a story—and lighting plays a key role in weaving those narratives.

One of the most memorable elements? The custom-built trees, dramatically lit with upward-pointing spotlights to cast delicate shadows across the outdoor dining area. It’s a project defined by craftsmanship, passion, and the power of light to shape unforgettable experiences.


It has been thrilling to see this amazing design celebrated, winning FoodInSpace Awards for Surfaces & Finishes, and Biophilic – and shortlisted the Restaurant Global Award in The International Hotel & Property Awards 2025.  


We’re proud to have illuminated this breathtaking space.
