Multitude Of Sins
The entrance door engages the sensory experiences of touch and sound as it leaps into a rabbit hole of memory. The existing site door was retrofitted to give it a renewed lease of colour and elemental play. A radial octet of hand horns occupies the centre while bicycle bells stipple the scarlet door.

Welcome to the circus! The acts of whimsical fanfare begin to unfold right at the entrance. The art installation adjacent to the entrance passageway comprises an electric pole found in a scrapyard which was accessorised with defunct appliances and gadgets like a plasma television, CD players, and retro computer speakers in zesty colours! The installation was further made to feel like a slice of life representation with the inclusion of repurposed wire from which dangle tattered clothes, shoes, and kites — an extremely quintessentially Indian visual that makes a debut in every mohalla (street).

A series of arches dot the passage when one makes their way inside. Bathed in a lively warm teal hue, these arches made of scrap metal pose as architectural features to create a sense of movement as one traverses the space. Grunge chandeliers made of bike chains and metal filings levitate over the passageway, flanked by upcycled vehicle headlights that present themselves as bespoke luminaires

The billing counter stretches itself along the expanse of the passageway and culminates as a live salad counter on the far end.

The billing counter is a classic steampunk piece brought to life by ingeniously collaging arbitrary junk upon the front elevation of the counter in collaboration with Mechanimal.

The carcass of the live salad counter was rendered in a stark black hue because of the snippets of discarded tyre patches. Worn out tyres were salvaged, sliced into smaller portions, and consequently nailed into place, an experimental project inching upon insanity as it stretched over the course of a month. This process resulted in an ebony canvas that was layered with leather trimmings, fringes, discarded rubber tyres, manhole covers, safety pins, pipe sections, and metal tacks creating a monochrome mosaic.

The flooring is a mishmash of discarded samples that have been assembled in a Tetris-like fashion, procured from ceramic, tile stores, and active sites of fellow designers in the city — each sample measured, and every segment ideated individually while it forms an integral part of a larger visual tapestry.

The entrance to the café is earmarked by a buffer zone that rests behind the veil of an artisanal barn door which seems to have been teleported through time from the confines of an underground speakeasy! Illustrated by Artist Shunnal Ligade, the Snitz’s merry mouth that splits wide open unable to contain his roaring laughter has been backed by a lining of perforated metal sheet. This ante space hosts a fleet of custom food carts that emulate the produce-to-plate concept in a new light with these ingenious contraptions. Finished in hues of pastel blue, yellow, and mint, these food carts are a humble homage to the ‘haathgaadis’ possessed by Indian vegetable and fruit hawkers. Curvilinear in their make, the carts exude an industrial nuance in the form of their filament bulbs fixtures, wooden crates, and tubular structure.

The heart of the floor plan is occupied by the mammoth community table which surreptitiously hugs a structural column, expanding almost organically around it. The reclaimed pine wood top has been swathed in a white hue, with dual-toned white and lilac legs that were formerly adjustable aluminium furniture legs procured from an office space. The chairs, though each unique in their make, abide by a cohesive design palette refurbished in sprightly printed fabric choices.The carnivalesque linear pendant that presides over the community table is a stellar collaboration amidst Light and Tape Artist Nithin Sadhuand our wallpaper vendor. Nithin has pieced together intricate tape to create a custom fascia for the luminaire which is amalgamated with upcycled snippets of wallpaper. A miniature racetrack installation seems to find its bearings in an alternate dimension as Jim Beam race-car form sculptures whizz upon to compete in a lap that the human eye cannot witness.

The floral neon- tubed chandelier in the lounge area blooms in complete glory as the evening inches on and the surrounding box lights by Nithin Sadhu have been layered with custom filaments that give them a cosmic iridescence!
