“We chose the name, then chose the wallpaper and then worked our designs around these two elements.”
Fond of timber and raw materials, Singh was keen to incorporate wood and metal embellishments in the project. Imported Shand Kydd and vintage wallpapers and eclectic fabrics and furnishings create a decadent, yet brooding space.
The project has been separated into different zones. The ‘retro dining area’ is inspired by vintage posters depicting a number of the world’s cities, while the ‘Peacock lounge’ alludes to ‘old world luxe’ with wallpapers in blue and black peacocks, dark woods and “hand picked fabrics in candy man stripes and panne velvets”. "In the cocktail bar we kept it quite pared back and wanted a luxurious industrial feel, so we polished the concrete floor, covered the walls in another vintage wallpaper (circa 1973) and added thick recycled beams and a wood panelled staircase.”
