Shubh Restaurant

Our Solution

I Started with designing the logo and then designed the space as a cultural walk through depicting the Indian hospitality culture that Shubh represents.

Shubh translates to auspicious, and that was my inspiration for the interiors. Indians decorate their homes with Rangoli designs before festivals and on auspicious occasions. I contemporized Indian Rangoli and Henna tattoo designs to create artworks for the façade and the internal walls.

The colours for Shubh were inspired from the mud huts in rural Indian villages. I personally painted the walls with a stylized Rangoli design that I developed. The takeaway area and the kitchen were separated by walls and swing doors. These walls have decorated windows for the staff to keep a look at the shop while in the kitchen.

A collection of paintings depicting the rural hospitality culture and traditions of North India were specially created by Retd. Col. V. Taode (my father). These paintings were placed over the rangoli designs to create a flow in the room.

Customized booth furniture and tables were made keeping to the theme. Even the toilet mirror has a rangoli design around it.
