Suzy's Coffee Lounge, Wellington, 1960s

Interior of Suzy's Coffee Lounge, Willis Street, 1960s.

Suzy's Coffee Lounge sported bold primary colours and sharp lines and angles. A sculptured front window screen restricted vision into and from the interior, creating a more intimate atmosphere. Internal screens and modern stained glass windows added to the cosy feeling.
