Prototype at Jurassic Lounge

The Melbourne Museum is an Australian centre of natural wonder and cultural contemplation, where visitors can explore people, places, and events beyond the boundaries of time and space.

The most recent of which is a story of life long before human civilisation, based on the famous dinosaur movie thriller, “Jurassic world.” Dinosaurs great and small feature in this biting exhibit including the biggest beast of them all: the Tyrannosaurus Rex. To complete the pre-historic theme, the Melbourne Museum also features a “Jurassic Lounge” where guests can escape and relax.

Long known as the underground cultural hub of after-dark activity, the Jurassic lounge has often sported one-off events for distinctive occasions such as Halloween and Mardi Gras. The black-and gold themed lounge is located on the lower ground floor of the museum, featuring a built in bar and sun-drenched courtyard with bar, dining and lounging options available to all patrons.

Working alongside the food and beverage agency Under One Roof, Prototype supplied the Warehouse Stools for the eclectic lounge area, providing a minimal chic buffer against the more shiny and dramatic décor.

The brief for this project was simply to supply classic, functional seating options that wouldn’t overpower the relatively opulent Jurassic Lounge space.

Working under the guidance of Under One Roof agency, Prototype supplied seating options for the bar area of the Jurassic Lounge with simple, industrial style Warehouse Stools. These stools are made from a steel leg construction with a solid timber top. The steel frame can be powder coated in any colour and the timber 2pac can be stained to any finish. For this project, the stools were kept very authentic and simple with black powder-coated legs and a natural timber finish.

The end result is an evolved, clean and elegantly designed space with more beverages than bones.
