The client brief given to us was simple, they wanted to create a space that would have an oriental look and feel and will stand out in a neighborhood which is overly crowded with restaurants and cafes. Our idea was to create a bright and inviting cafe that adds a whimsical pop of orange to the block, as orange is their brand colour.
Since it was a tiny space of roughly 350 sq.ft. with a high ceiling, we wanted to create a more intimate experience while bringing out the oriental element in a subtle way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”16001″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”16000″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”16003″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”16002″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We wanted to avoid clichéd references to Chinese culture in India, and thus refrained from using obvious traditional patterns or symbols anywhere in the space. Instead we used a combination of orange, pale wooden seating and table tops and contemporary elements to redefine the Asian design. To add the informality of a street like feel, we used grey terrazzo floor tiles along with lantern like lighting and laser cut metal artwork inspired by oriental food Wok this way offers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”16004″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Photographer: Anish Padalkar.
