Drawing inspiration from the lively ambiance of a bustling marketplace, our design invites guests on a sensory journey, infusing the space with vibrant energy and natural vitality.

As evening falls, gentle illumination of rush weaving from above, along with the soft glow of wall pendants and table lights, orchestrates a seamless transition from the vibrancy of the day to the allure of night.
