Somm spaces
Somm's interior is punctuated with materials traditionally found in New Zealand's prestigious winery regions. Timber in walnut oak, earthy stone and clay tiles ground the space, giving a subtle nod to the provenance of the wines it's showcasing. It's rusticism with a sleek refined edge.
