In a world filled with restaurants that have standard conventional facades, this restaurant has changed things up by including a series of sculptural wood elements in the design to give itself a unique identity.

Located within Phoenix Market City in Mumbai, India, the wood ‘arcade’ sections have been assembled by stacking and rotating the horizontal wood parts around a pivot point.

Inside, the true form of the sculptural wood forms can be seen with their curved wave-like shape.

The wood forms also provide the customers a sense of intimacy when they’re dining.

On the other side of the restaurant, the designers created an area that was inspired by alfresco dining.
