Lead designer // Julian Taylor Design Associates

The name is taken from the cut line that rips through the site taking with it walls, staircases, furniture and finishes but leaves all else above and below intact.

Part of the Tokyo Industries group jtda worked with Aaron Mellor to create this ground breaking design.

 

Multiple bar or club: Bangalore Express Bar, LONDON

Designed by Outline Architects, the restaurant’s interior is unique and funky - a geometric fusion of red and grey. Clusters of lights hang from the ceiling and decorative steel tiffins cover the red walls behind the bar. Wooden booths and flooring add a warm glow.
