The name itself directed the design concept. It speaks of audio, music, news and chatter.... Minnie Bhatt wanted the ambience to reflect all of this. The radio was the most popular medium of mass communication in its germinating years; it came about in the early 1900s and continues even today to reach millions of listeners everyday. Minnie Bhatt used objects related to the \'audio medium \'of communication and sense of hearing, such as the horn speakers that were converted to planters, mikes that were converted into pendant lights, and even the bar counter facade was made with vintage style wooden speaker boxes. The vibe of the space had to be uber as well as fun. The facade wall is a depiction of a radio with the bandwidths depicted with black metal numeric and sound frequency bands etched in the Siporex wall. The graphicesque seating swings was added to create a fun seating space and the outdoor furniture is casual in wood and metal framework. The team at Minnie Bhatt Design strung hanging lights made of old audio cassettes over the long running seating ledge...a music storage device long forgotten in today\'s era of CD\'s and iPods. The indoor area flooring is of black and white cement tiles, indicating keys of a piano. The bar front is clad in reclaimed wood slats, and random shelving juxtaposed on the wall above the lounge sofa area resemble an attic filled with memorabilia such as monitors, audio cassettes, books and other paraphernalia . The ambience of the basement was created to resemble a space in the basement of a home of an upcoming musician, who had jamming sessions here, surrounded by his collection of music memorabilia. The furniture here is in teak wood as in the indoor area upstairs.
