Francophone is an inviting ‘brasserie’ located near an active street. This charming café was designed drawing inspiration from the city of Paris. The design was aimed at bringing together the two faces of Paris – the classical and the industrial. The constant contrast of warm wood and cold metal used throughout the café uniformly bridges together the two styles. A metal truss frame filled in with transparent glass panels form the entrance of the café, fulfilling two functions – showcasing the café to lure in customers and providing a street view for the patrons inside. A winding metal staircase leads up to the mezzanine that overlooks the entire café. The mezzanine offers a view to louvered windows fixed to the wall in a faux setting that adds to the Parisian theme. The carefully planned use of suspended light bulbs of different sizes offers an illusion of ‘floating lights’, which was inspired from the photo-bleaching effect. This transforms the café during the evening hours adding to its ambience. Finer design elements used, consistently further the design of a French brasserie. Francophone was designed to bring the experience of the enchanting city of Paris to the busy streets of India.
