Located in Kothrud in the cosmopolitan city of Pune, Barometer was envisioned as a benchmark when it came to the design of restaurants and bars. The restaurant opens for breakfast in the mornings and its busiest times are evenings and nights when cocktails, food and black-and-white Chaplin movies take over. The space feels informal and rustic, is equal amounts a neighbourhood bar and a street-side café, and is designed by Amoeba Design led by Satyajeet Patwardhan and Pashmin Shah. The design mak

A space that ages as gracefully as a vintage car.

Stained in the WoodTech Melamyne finish, the wooden surfaces are a familiar shade, creating a comfortable mood at all times. It also fits well with the narrative of the design approach – of a vintage car – as wood is a material known to age gracefull

During the day, natural light rushes into the interiors through the large windows. It accentuates the concrete finish of Royale Play Archi Concrete on the walls and the Melamyne wood finish of the furniture. The space carries a different vibe from how it presents itself after sundown.

The design of Barometer draws its inspiration from the metaphor of a vintage car. The old-world charm, rustic finishes and cozy interiors make for a space that ages gracefully and gets better with time. (Photography by Pulkit Sehgal)

At night, the ambient lighting dims out the surroundings, spotlighting the dinner tables, the guests seated around those, and their organic conversations. The furniture reacts well to this attention as the wood shines in the light, bringing out the rich texture of Asian Paints’ WoodTech Melamyne. (Photography by Pulkit Sehgal)

Royale Play Archi Concrete suits Barometer’s personality as a community space, inspired by speakeasies and neighborhood bars around the world. It is fuss-free and an all-time classic, as it looks stylishly worn-out. (Photography by Pulkit Sehgal)
