Social Climbing at Wellington’s Matterhorn

Wallpaper features newly refurbished Wellington bar The Matterhorn in its global navigator. In a piece entitled ‘The heart of the matter’ the bar is the hub of a cosmopolitan revivified Wellington. Surveying the reworkings of architect Allistar Cox on the legendary Cuba Mall spot that’s been going strong since the Lamington days of the early 60s, Wallpaper finds a stylishly modern cavern hinting at Frank Lloyd Wright and 1920s cocktails. It’s the only place, of course, to drink Feijoa infused 42 Below vodka.
