Green palms and monkeys Raseel recently brought in some fresh vibrancy at the Olive Qutub restaurant. “We were moving into One Style Mile next door, and I noticed the restaurant had a lot of bare walls. So, I thought, why not perk up the place.” She introduced Bananarama wallpaper, with monkeys and banana trees, in large paper lanterns. In the Serai, she juxtaposed its beautiful frescoes with her Sunderban wallpaper, with palms as the leitmotif. “There are a few imagery, like the palm, banana tree, elephant and tiger, that we all respond to,” she shares, adding that we will spot more of them in the new crockery line she is designing now.
