Blending the tradition and modernity

When established “PIZZA SOCIAL” A Sizzling Bite Venture, their choice for design of new 1200 square feet premises was the interior WORKSHOP; Architect Tejas Mistry.

What was requires here was a peppy, catchy look, which would be acceptable to next generation and decided to employ a fusion of modern and traditional ambience with distressed finishes. It involves some R & D and experimentation too.

In designing the restaurant, Tejas aims to stretch the boundaries of what is sustainable and relevant; understand space and how people interact with it; keep exploring materials and new way to use them. We started the design thinking “Modern Indian” and what its definition could be. We looked for exposed and rustic materials like Brick wall, MS Cantex jali, aggregate, exposed electrical pipes, pattern tiles and reinterpreted them to suit the requirements of a modern restaurant.

The floor presents a burst of colours in the form of a collage of colourful old pattern tiles. The main door is made of glass and colouring films, even the handle have an old world look. Within the eye is intentionally drawn to the cash counter which is designed with embossed lettering. While the skills are conventional, the design sensibility showcases the contemporary interpretation of cuisine in a subtle yet evocative environment.

The brick wall flanking the console has small bricks jutting out. Simple layout offers variety of seating which the younger generation would me more attracted to. We have metal structure seating which look alike house and the wall on side is finished with corrugated sheet and created windows with glass and antique wooden mouldings. The layout is divided by partition made of MS Cantex jali and aggregate filled in it. The colour palette uses shades of blue, yellow and grey.

The most sober and catchy part is the ceiling. Ceiling is roughly finished with putty texture and has exposed electrical pipes. Ceiling has warli art painting which add antiquated look to the ambience. Warli painting is a style of tribal art. These rudimentary painting uses a set of basic geometric shapes. Festivals, celebrations and dance are common scenes depicted in warli painting. Warli painting covered day to day activities of the village people.

The design has ensured that people come to look at the place as much as to eat the food. Let’s enter into a different and a fusion world with a vintage handle right on the entrance door.
