CCustom decorative rope systems designed and installed for Arbory Afloat on the Yarra River, creating texture and definition without walls.

Arbory Afloat Decorative Ropes

Bespoke Wire & Rope collaborated with Arbory Afloat’s design team to deliver decorative rope installations across the venue. The project included ceiling-hung ropes, wrapped columns, and a custom floral suspension, all executed under strict timeline pressures before opening.

Location: Yarra River, Melbourne, VIC

Completion Date: December 2022

Client: Arbory Afloat

Our Scope

Bespoke supplied and installed a custom decorative rope system to define a dining area without physical walls. The installation used 12mm manilla ropes with knotted and tasselled ends, suspended from the ceiling to create texture and intimacy.

Dozens of white-painted columns were wrapped with manilla rope to give the cabanas and awnings a natural, tactile finish. In addition, our team fabricated and installed a suspended feature above the pool area — a floral arrangement named Paradiso, designed to reflect the theme of the year.

This work was delivered to a compressed timeline in preparation for the venue’s opening, demonstrating Bespoke’s ability to meet high-pressure deadlines with precision and creativity.

The ropes were installed to:

  • Define dining areas without structural partitions

  • Add texture and a natural aesthetic across cabanas and awnings

  • Create a bespoke suspended feature over the pool area

  • Meet strict opening deadlines with quality craftsmanship
