To further enhance the interior design of the tea salon, Mahdavi added marvellous white candy-stick tables, bespoke and scalloped furniture with plush velvet cushions, grey and white marble floor; the walls are decorated with beautiful blown glass floret lamps that are an excellent complement to the cherry blossom-pink walls while meringue-shaped ceilings lamps soften the down lighting.

This contemporary set with Parisian influences was designed as a “fully-realised mise en scène”. India Mahdavi revealed that the main idea was to create a sort of movie scenery that would go in accordance with the essence of Salon de Thé and would provide the ultimate design and tea experience for its visitors. The final result is an eclectic, classical and colourful interior space that screams originality and flavour.
