The material palette for the project is carefully curated to evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining relevant to today's trends. Materials like terrazzo and wicker, which have seen a recent resurgence in popularity, are seamlessly integrated into the space, creating a harmonious blend of past and present. Careful attention has been paid to every detail, from the font selection reminiscent of French bistros to the strategic use of brand colours throughout the interior. These choices not only evoke a sense of nostalgia but also establish the outlet's long historical relevance in Delhi.

The facade, adorned entirely in glass, allows patrons walking through the mall to glimpse inside, offering a tantalising preview of what awaits. Hand-painted calligraphy further communicates the restaurant's ambiance and offerings, enticing passersby to step inside and experience the magic firsthand.

Upon entering, patrons are greeted by a colour-blocked green lobby, whose ceiling is heavily layered with wicker lanterns, captivating them with its distinct vibe. Visually and physically separated from the rest of the restaurant, this lobby serves as a waiting area for patrons before being seated. The bar, centrally placed, acts as the heart of the space, around which all seating areas are arranged. Various seating options cater to different party sizes and preferences, with long private booths carved out along the length of the restaurant.

Despite the grand volume of the space, the layout is designed to promote social intimacy and interaction, with compact booth sizes providing a sense of privacy amidst the bustling atmosphere. Soft curves, playful colours, and a harmonious blend of classical elegance and modern trends create an inviting ambiance throughout the restaurant. Brass details, wrought iron accents, and larger-than-life wicker/cane lights add warmth and character, while patented graphics adorn the walls, adding visual interest and charm.

Terrazzo takes centre stage as a major design factor across the entirety of the restaurant, weaving its elegant and timeless charm throughout the space. The front of the bar is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed in terrazzo and meticulously inlaid with brass accents, all cast in-situ to create a seamless and luxurious finish.

This exquisite detailing extends to the flooring, where a seamless light grey terrazzo floor serves as the foundation, subtly delineated by slightly darker terrazzo outlining the booths and central seating area. Even the step-up front balcony exudes warmth, finished in wooden tiles that complement the terrazzo seamlessly. Every inch of flooring is a testament to the artistry and precision of the contractor, showcasing the beauty and durability of cast in-situ terrazzo.

The choice of furniture strikes a balance between classical elegance and modern-day trends, with larger-than-life wicker/cane lights adding warmth and ambiance. Patented graphics adorn the walls, adding visual interest, while spaces for monochrome decor pieces allow the design of the volume to shine.
