Interior & Furniture
INSPIRATIONS
The restaurant offers a sophisticated and earthy visual experience, blending traditional Indian art with modern design. Adorning the walls are traditional Indian art, while the furniture combines wood, leather, and fabrics. The lighting and high ceiling create an intimate atmosphere, and muted earthy colors with highlights of copper add to the ambiance.
Interior Fixtures
GLASS RAILING
The restaurant is divided into two seating areas by glass partitions. There is a lower seating area with a double-height ceiling near the glass facade and a higher seating area with a view of the lower serving area and the outside.
The glass partition components are designed to be divided into equal portions to match the maximum size of glass that can fit in the lift. This equal sizing ensures seamless assembly at the site and reduces wood wastage at the factory.
RECEPTION TABLE
Reception table for two hostesses to greet guests with a register book and computer systems. Made with stained plywood framework, a Corian countertop, and adorned with cane weave surfaces and lights.
BAR AREA
The restaurant bar follows the same theme as the rest of the establishment, with a functional workflow that corresponds to the equipment and the bartender's needs. There are two racks for bottle display with reflected lighting that highlights the bar area. Below the bar counter, six panels of intricate wood artwork decorate the space, elevating its overall aesthetic.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Tall doors provide a grand entrance with intricate banyan leaf patterns symbolizing eternal life. Both the door frame and the shutter frame are constructed from solid wood, while the shutter surface is made with 6mm ply.
