The Challenge

The Challenge

KAI Interiors were appointed by our client, Michelin Star chef Peter Joseph, to create his first solo venture: a beautiful restaurant to celebrate Indian cuisine that turned fine dining on its head.

The brief posed multiple challenges, from an existing architect’s design that didn’t work because of building regulations and restrictions. To converting the existing lighting to comply, to considering the numerous restrictions imposed because the space was located under a hotel, such as stringent fire prevention and acoustic elements as noise had to be limited.

Our Solution

Kahani means ‘story’ in Hindi so we had a strong desire to visually convey a compelling narrative. Our team of interior designers set about creating a contemporary concept that married together the aesthetic with the clients desire to serve Indian cuisine to excite and delight the palate.

At KAI Interiors we pride ourselves on going the extra mile and this project took the idea of bespoke to a new level. We created three wallpapers, mosaic tiles and handmade chandeliers. The style incorporated Indian antiquities and a warm, sumptuous colour palette inspired by an Indian wall painting, paired with luxurious fabrics and finishes to enrich the space. The result is an indulgent, decadent and unique experience which flows seamlessly from the bar area to restaurant space.
