If there’s creative anarchy let loose, it’s here, in this film set-like space, standing out amidst the bars and restaurants behind the towering facades of glass and steel. The space pays homage to Mumbai’s chawls, and features wooden railings and tiny rooms with fading grey-green walls and exposed electric meters and wiring, and littered concrete pipes that provide shelter to the homeless. This outlet, part of Riyaaz Amlani’s Social, has a design that is radically different from the chain’s usual décor and ambience. But, like the other Social outlets, this one too has an in-house culture manager whose job is to connect and build a community, but that’s another story.
