Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Macaulay Sinclair Helps with Designing Dishoom Canary Wharf

— December 20, 2022 — Lifestyle
London opens its doors to another restaurant location with the launch of Dishoom Canary Wharf, building on the popular franchise. To design the venue, co-founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar work with the architectural studio Macaulay Sinclair. The key design language was to highlight retro furnishings including the use of vintage chairs and lighting fixtures.

Shamil Thakrar explains that "When we create a Dishoom, we always start with a story. We imagined the fictional owner of the restaurant to be a financial fraudster from the 1970s who owns a cafe on Dalal Street, close to the Bombay Stock Exchange. This story gave us an opportunity to experiment with the aesthetic and feeling of the 1970s in Bombay, which, as you can imagine, has a rich history of financial intrigue."
