A palette of white-on-white textures and materials defines the living room. Venlet is joined by Lippens and their daughter, Nylah-Noy, on the Bendy Bay sectional—a modular, undulating fiberglass frame topped with leather cushions that he produced for Viteo in 2007. Cast-iron columns original to the structure, lacquered IKEA cabinets, and a custom stainless-steel countertop lined with a variant of Venlet’s Burdekin barstools make up the galley-style kitchen.

I talked with Audi PR man Andrew Lipman and he told me that the car company loves this project because, "It's a project that solves a problem and gives back to a community that we care about." As to why there aren't Audi rings stamped on every surface, he said that the parklets aren't a massive branding exercise. "It's OK if people don't understand it as 100% related to Audi."
