BLUE BAOLI BY PANTONE COLLECTIVE’S TANYA CHUTANI IN COLLABORATION WITH UPNEET KAUR, LOCATED IN JANPATH, NEW DELHI, IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATION OF VERNACULAR DESIGN ELEMENTS. THE FUSION DESIGN LANGUAGE OF THIS INDIAN COCKTAIL BAR IS CENTRED AROUND THE PANTONE COLOUR OF THE YEAR, CLASSIC BLUE, AND TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE BAOLI WALL & ARCHES THAT COMPRISE THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE OF THE SPACE. A TROPICAL INSPIRED THEME FEATURES IN THE MURALS & SOFT FURNISHINGS. RATTAN BACK ARMCHAIRS & INDOOR PLANTS CREATE AN AMBIENCE THAT ENCAPSULATES AN OLD-WORLD CHARM, ACCENTUATED BY THE DRAMATIC LIGHTING FIXTURES & ANTIQUE BRASS DETAILING.
