OYE KAKE

Saniya Kantawala

Oye Kake as a restaurant lable, branded themselves with 6 colours. The challenge was to implement these bright colours throughout the Interiors as the client emphasised on using all 6 of them.Taking into consideration Punjab as a state in the modern day, is very colourful. But if we have to go back in time and study the state, they entailed mud homes and white hand murells across their homes. It was simpler times with a simpler approach. That’s what we wanted to implement in this restaurant. Using shades and tints close to mud homes, white ethnic but minimal murells. The challenge was how to use this concept with respecting the 6 bold colours the restaurant entails; which had to be spread beautifully across the space. Punjabi women wear an ornament on their hand called chooraa bangle. We took the bangle as our key element and decided to splash across those colours in the form of an art installation on the ceiling. This installation was spread across 1,100 sq.ft using 40,000 bangles. We were able to achieve a large piece of art and light installation hanging from our ceiling. It became the most challenging and interesting feature in the space. The challenge was how to bond 40,000 pieces of bangles together as a piece of art ceiling leaving everything subdued around it.
