Thali, Indian restaurant, Oxford 2017

Thali is a restaurant that started serving food in 1999 in a truck at the Glastonbury Festival. So successful, they opened 6 restaurants across the UK, mixing the British-pop climate an rainy festival to the Indian flavor. The design is by Blacksheep and reflects in the restaurant the soul, values ​​and life of an Indian city. The result icame after an intense immersion in Dehli in the heart of Indian culture. The materiality of the design is spread over three layers: the first is made of bricks and exposed undeground industrial elements; the second layer is colored; the third layer consists of lo-fi elements and decoration that creates familiarity. The menu changes and with it also the poster attached to the walls that tells the dishes, recreating a collage wall. The kitchen is on view. The dishes show the six flavors of Indian cuisine: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, astringent and spicy. Design is voluntarily informal. The Indian (and religious) ritual of washing hands before eating, and the purifying water is reproduced thanks to a pale pink Jesmonite multifunctional water station and a common handwashing wash basin.
