GUFTAGU
Guftagu, keeping alive the spirit in conversations:
Located near Durga Colony, Jalandhar Punjab, Guftagu Café represents a Bollywood Movie bonanza from the Mumbai Fort area. The entrance is demarcated with posters and shots from veteran Bollywood movies of India. Space truly represents its name Guftagu that literally means to chit-chat and talk. This café rightfully serves as a centre for social interaction and a place to meet, greet, write and congregate. The old cassettes or the records have been upcycled in this project by and framing them in the display wall behind the seating. The colour combination of the café is also uniquely curated with multi-coloured variants in the furniture acting like a complete contrast to the darker shade green and greys. The café is designed in a linear fashion with tune symbols and a large piano painted on the adjacent wall from the sitting space. Besides this, the hanging mikes, skeleton framed bulbs and display of other musical equipment add a creative feel of dance, drama and magic to space.
