Sumessh Menon continues to redefine the boundaries of restaurant design

With a passion for experimentation and a flair for innovative design concepts, Sumessh Menon has established himself as a master of modern aesthetics, constantly pushing boundaries with new age materials. His design philosophy is simple yet powerful – to aim for the “wow” factor in every project, ensuring that each space resonates with style and energy. Sumessh’s approach to restaurant design focuses on developing functional floor plans that facilitate smooth service operations while offering an enjoyable dining atmosphere for patrons.

“I believe that an excellently designed restaurant should not only cater to the operational needs but also elevate the dining experience, creating a comfortable yet stylish environment for unforgettable moments,” shares Sumessh, thriving on the challenge of balancing practicality with desirability.

PROJECT IN FOCUS – Takumi
Location: Santacruz, Mumbai
Year of Completion: January 2024
Typology: Restaurant
What we heart: The cuboid punctured burgundy wall
Colour Palette: Blend of red and grey hues, complemented by biophilic elements like bamboo shoots
Design Approach: No hard angles, organic and curved forms

A ‘PURELY ASIAN’ experience is what the brand-new restaurant designed by Sumessh Menon Associates at Santacruz promises us. An Asian warrior lady sculpture greets you at the very entrance to this deeply rooted Asian space, standing within a custom-made Japanese torii gate. There is a lot of artworks that is subtly woven into the design of the whole space which emanates the Asian vibe into the whole space. Custom lights being the USP for Sumessh Menon Associates, the decorative lights were all customized with Asian design inspirations wherein the outdoor lights were organic shaped cane lights and the indoor ones were formed having x-ray effect of Asian motifs, both lending a uniquely charming ambience to the spaces.
