XVA ART CAFE -
XVA Art Cafe, located in Al Fahidi neighborhood, is a unique fusion of art and culinary experiences. Nestled within the renowned XVA Art Hotel, the cafe provides a serene setting where patrons can indulge in a delightful array of dishes while surrounded by contemporary art exhibitions. This cultural hub seamlessly integrates the realms of visual arts and gastronomy, offering a distinctive and inspiring atmosphere for visitors to savor both creativity and cuisine.
As an Interior Design Student, I have attempted to redesign the outdoor cafe, By introducing consistent yet unique seating arrangements and incorporating an art corner, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.
The shift from a conventional ceiling fabric to jute fabric infuses a natural and earthy ambiance, contributing to a more inviting and cozy atmosphere.
These thoughtful modifications seem to create a harmonious blend between artistic expression and comfortable dining, promising a renewed and engaging experience for patrons.
