In the heart of Bandra, on a lively street filled with the hum of city life, Charlee explores the idea of a clandestine speakeasy hidden above a posh wine shop that challenges the ordinary. The bar restaurant’s interior design is an immersive experience, where the fusion of dark tones, textures, and modern sophistication converges to create a space akin to a hidden lair- a “Batcave meets gentleman’s club.”
Editor’s Note: “Charlee, a bar restaurant interior design is a mix of industrial rawness and contemporary sophistication. A monochromatic palette along with textural materials such as stone, concrete, steel, and brass accents create a moody yet vibrant ambience. Charlee offers an immersive retreat defined by warm, hues and curated corners, where elegance meets a touch of mystery in each space.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

Upon entering Charlee, one is immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of mystery and allure. The design concept revolves around a monochromatic palette, with dark tones dominating the space.
Using highly textural materials such as stones, gabion walls, and concrete infuses an industrial edge, evoking the rugged charm of a hidden cavern.
There is an interplay of contrasting materials where sleek, polished surfaces meet rough, tactile textures. Steel and brushed brass accents punctuate the space. Thus, adding a touch of glamor to the otherwise brooding atmosphere. It is a delicate dance between the industrial and the refined.
Each corner is carefully curated to balance darkness with a subtle, warm glow, creating an intimate setting where conversations flow seamlessly and secrets are shared in hushed tones.
Charlee transcends the conventional notion of a bar, presenting itself as an immersive journey into a world where darkness meets elegance and industrial elements coalesce with refined design.
It seamlessly blends the rugged, polished, mysterious, and glamorous. Thus, creating a haven for those seeking an escape from the ordinary.
