When you look at Café Delhi Heights in New Delhi for the first time, it appears as if things have just been thrown together randomly – mish mash of furniture, throw cushions, stacks of books, shelves lined with knick-knacks and quirky signboards tacked to the wall. However, a closer look would reveal that there is nothing random about this setting. It has all been carefully constructed to exude a casual charm.
The team at Zeppelin Design came up with a design concept that would invoke Delhi-centric nostalgia and a contemporary DIY character. The different seating options from tables to benches piled with cushions to booths enclosed by floaty sheer curtains make it possible to have spots of varied ambiences within the same space.
The use of furniture is Zeppelin Design partner Som Sengupta’s favourite element in the restaurant. Interesting memorabilia like the red telephone booth, window frames on the exposed brick wall and other bits placed in random niches and corners adds to the eclectic feel of the café.
