Khyber

Khyber is a fine dining restaurant serving North West frontier cuisine. Over 25 years old,
it is today considered an institution in Mumbai. tsk Design was appointed to re-design the identity and make it more contemporary. The Khyber Pass is historically a strategic corridor, significant for war and trade. Echoing the Khyber Pass that connects India to Pakistan, the ceiling installation forms a dramatic central axis through the space. Inspired by its dry, dramatic terrain the brand mark is bold and linear.
