The word “canto” means corner, and this name provided an open canvas to create a unique experience and atmosphere for the brand. The bar & restaurant interior design blends contemporary luxury with comfort, resulting in a stylish and visually pleasing dining experience.
Editor’s Note: “Canto’s interiors reimagine luxury with contemporary expressions. A myriad of greens, blues, and bronze blend with cozy couches and deep textures to create an inviting ambiance. With a fluted marble bar, sculptural lighting, and geometric accents, natural light and reflective surfaces create the impression of depth. This design enhances the dining experience into an immersive and classy one.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

The layout features a variety of seating arrangements, catering to both intimate dining and larger social gatherings.

Plush seating in shades of teal, blue, and coral enhances the luxurious ambiance, while table tops are finished in veneer, marble, terrazzo, and tiles.
The floor-to-ceiling façade includes a metal framework with geometric patterns. Moreover, it allows ample natural light to flood the space and offers views of the greenery outside.
Additionally, the black-and-white terrazzo flooring, with geometric patterns, is complemented by raised wooden tiles that add warmth to the area.
The bar area features a modern and structured shelving design in veneer and tinted mirror, displaying an extensive collection of spirits and glassware.
The fluted green marble bar counter exudes luxury and sophistication, while a tall suspended display made of MS with stained glass in shades of blue, amber, and yellow presents bottles elegantly. A striking black sculpture serves as a central decorative piece. Thus, introducing a contemporary art element.
Unique sculptural light fixtures throughout the restaurant create focal points and add artistic flair. The oversized fabric and wireframe domes over the booth seating and central lights with the framework. Additionally, crushed fabric provide soft, diffused lighting.
The textured wall with geometric patterns is highlighted by large, gold-toned light fixtures that mimic natural, pebble-shaped forms.
Additionally, tall columns covered in stone veneer feature linear wall lights, enhancing the artistic touch and unique design of the space. Mirrors with fluted wooden panels add depth to the interior, making it visually intriguing.
The ribbed green wall, with an ombre pattern transitioning from deep forest green to lighter, muted green tones, adds complexity and serves as a striking backdrop.
