The Elbow Room
 
 
   
Elite Art Cafe, an idea thrown open to us by our client: to create a space as a canvas for the promotion of young artists in the city.

As our design concept, the space was created like a continuous capsule seamlessly connecting various clusters with a central passage leading up to the performance stage at the end of the axis. Wall space was kept bare for the display of art.

The open capsule was punctuated at regular intervals by a single wave that bent in various configurations defining the multiple arrangement of seating, dining and display. This created a regular, though a random rhythm where the art objects became the prime focus and the platforms slid, moved, hovered like folds of paper to house them.
