A humble – yet glamorous – coffee cart is among the winners at the annual Eat Drink Design awards, which celebrate the best designed restaurants, cafes, bars and retail spaces in Australia.

The golden creation for pop-up cafe Campos Barangaroo was the brainchild of Woods Bagot and sits in the lobby at Barangaroo’s Tower 3.

Referred to as the “jewellery box”, the cafe was awarded the prize for Best Retail Design at the awards, and features woven brass mesh panels that are intended to provide a contrast to the building’s sandstone walls nearby.
