Tin Tin Restaurant & Bar In Chandigarh By Renesa Architecture Design Studio
Tin Tin Restaurant & Bar by Renesa Architecture is a flurry of sweeping arches, contoured ceilings, and morphing vistas as the interior volume feel at once disarmingly exotic and naggingly familiar. The curved back stools seem to be a direct copy of Tom Dixon’s Cassia collection amongst a few other things we can’t quite put our finger on.

The project is found within the city of Chandigarh, a little-known architectural pilgrimage in India. Here, during the 1950s, Le Corbusier was given full reign to exact his own design rationale, much like a visual manifesto. The city is teeming with modernist civic buildings and surprising design oddities.

With this context, Renesa looked to another modernist great, Carlo Scarpa, with their maze of terrazzo a clear homage to his Olivetti flooring in Venice. The floor-to-wall tiling is elaborate and at times disorientating, as the team themselves describes it, it’s “a geometric mosaic matrix residing within the spaces, a permanent resident that earmarks the walls, portals, and various surface finishes to instil a sense of visual dynamism.”

Grotto-like, Tin Tin Restaurant shell is derived from the stippled appearance of cast on-site slivers of Indian stone and terrazzo that were painstakingly hand-laid over six months by a brigade of stonemasons and casters.
