Located on the waterfront at Barangaroo, an up-and-coming, inner-city suburb of Sydney, Australia, presently in the midst of a major urban renewal project, Été, which is French for “summer”, is a restaurant that as its name suggests offers a taste of French cooking tied to seasonality. The menu’s Francophile sumptuousness is manifested in the restaurant's décor that has been designed by Australian interior designers Foolscap Studio as a tribute to the effortless elegance of classic Provençal style, albeit filtered through an Australian sensibility of contemporary refinement. Foolscap Studio’s interior design reinterprets the rustic aesthetic of the French Provençal style through a contemporary language of subtlety and polish, transforming, for example, the typical rustic timber beams into smooth, blonde bentwood, turning the galvanized metal wash buckets into hand-beaten zinc cladding for the bar counter, and channelling the coiled wrought iron ornamentation through the hand-painted wall mural by Chicago-based graphic designer John Zabawa.

位于澳大利亚悉尼的内城郊区Barangaroolo的滨水区，目前正处在一个主要的市区重建项目之中，该项目是法国的“夏季”，是一家餐馆，它的名字暗示了法国烹调的味道与季节性联系在一起。菜单的“亲法”表现在餐厅的德格林克（dinhercor）中，它是由澳大利亚内部设计师鲁莽的工作室设计的，它是对经典普罗旺斯风格的毫不费力的优雅的赞扬，尽管通过澳大利亚对当代精致的敏感性进行了过滤。愚蠢的工作室的室内设计重新诠释了法国普罗旺斯风格的乡村美学，通过一种微妙和波兰语的当代语言，将典型的乡村木材光束转化为光滑的、金色的本木，将镀锌金属清洗桶转变成棒计数器的手工镀锌覆层，并通过基于芝加哥的图形设计者JohnZabawa的手绘墙壁画来引导盘绕的锻铁装饰。

The mural’s single-line drawing style, which brings to mind Picasso’s freehand drawings, an artist who spent many decades in the South of France, is complemented by the rough hand-drawn typeface and naive brush-style illustrations that Zabawa developed for the restaurant’s menu and visual identity, as well as by a series of ten artworks that are displayed on the walls. From the traditional bentwood and cane Thonet chairs to the hand-made, green ceramic tiles that adorn the bar’s backdrop, the décor is peppered with subtle nods to French elegance, while the rough limestone floor tiling and the long communal table, cleverly demarcated by aluminium vessels, allude to the French vernacular. The combination of old and new world elements is more than an aesthetic mélange though. It is also an evocative reflection of Été’s cuisine, which combines old-world traditions of classical French cuisine with new world cooking techniques, as well as a recognition of the importance of seasonality and landscape to the cultural identity of both regions.

这幅壁画的单行绘画风格让人想起毕加索的写意画，他是一位在法国南部生活了几十年的艺术家，除了这幅画外，还有扎巴瓦为餐厅菜单和视觉形象而开发的粗糙的手绘字体和天真的画笔风格的插图，以及一系列挂在墙上的十件艺术品。从传统的弯木和藤椅到装饰酒吧背景的手工制作的绿色瓷砖，装饰都是法国优雅的微妙点点头，而粗糙的石灰石地砖和由铝制容器巧妙划分的长公共桌子，则暗示着法国的方言。新旧世界元素的结合不仅仅是一种审美的变化。这也让人联想到埃泰的美食，它将法国古典烹饪的旧世界传统与新的世界烹饪技术结合在一起，同时也认识到季节性和景观对这两个地区的文化特征的重要性。

Seasonality in particular has been embraced by both the kitchen and the front of the house. Not only does Chef Drew Bolton’s menu change seasonally in order to reflect the fresh, local and seasonal produce, but so do the menu covers and the seasonal illustrations therein. Thoughtfully, these culinary seasonal transitions are also channelled through the restaurant’s décor. A timber screen at the venue’s entrance hosts an ever evolving produce and floral installation, from and ears of corn and artichoke arrangements to lavender and thyme bouquets, setting the tone for what is to follow. Further on, bespoke table vessels with corresponding decorations and removable window decals further enhance the desired seasonal ambience.

尤其是季节性，已经被厨房和房子的正面所接受。大厨德鲁·波顿的菜单不仅季节性变化，以反映新鲜的、本地的和季节性的产品，而且菜单封面和其中的季节性插图也是如此。深思熟虑，这些烹饪季节的转变也通过餐厅的装饰渠道。会场入口处的木屏上有一个不断发展的产品和花卉装置，从玉米和洋蓟的耳朵到薰衣草和百里香花束，为接下来的事情定下了基调。此外，定制的桌子容器与相应的装饰和可移动的窗口标记进一步加强了所需的季节氛围。

The shifting seasons are also reflected, albeit more statically, in two competing colour palettes that the designers have used to divide the open-plan space into two zones. In the front section, bright tangerine and green tones and light timber elements, in conjunction with the daylight that floods the space through the glazed façade, represent spring and summer, while a combination of plum, burgundy and dark timber in the back conjure a more moody atmospheres more suitable to autumn and winter. Don’t let the overall relaxed setting fool you, every detail, however small, has been meticulously designed. Details such as leather-bound handles and table legs, carved timber edges and granite inlays reveal a realm of refinement and luxury behind the veil of rough comfort, a sensation quite analogous to Été’s menu whose heart-warming dishes conceal highly refined culinary techniques.

变化的季节也反映了，虽然更静态，在两个相互竞争的色彩调色板，设计师用来把开放式空间划分成两个区域。在前面的部分，明亮的橘色、绿色色调和轻薄的木材元素，再加上阳光把空间淹没在玻璃外墙上，代表了春天和夏天，而背后的李子、勃艮第和深色木材的组合则让人联想到一种更适合秋冬的喜怒无常的氛围。不要让整个放松的环境愚弄你，每一个细节，无论多么小，都是精心设计的。皮包手柄、桌子腿、木雕边缘和花岗岩镶嵌等细节，在粗糙舒适的面纱背后，展现出一种精致和奢华的境界，这种感觉与特莱的菜单相当类似，菜单上的暖心菜肴隐藏着高度精致的烹饪技巧。
