Gather

Designed by Spiro spero | Principal Designer: Keith menon

Project Narrative

Tucked away on Pune’s SB Road, Gather is more than just a restaurant - it’s a thoughtfully designed experience that blurs the lines between the cosmic and the communal, the vintage and the contemporary. Conceptualized as a tribute to human achievements and shared moments, this vibrant space is where stories unfold and connections deepen.

The design of Gather revolves around creating a seamless indoor-outdoor spatial dialogue. As you approach the venue, a striking yellow gate instantly draws you in. Just beyond it, two astronaut suits suspended from a tree immediately shift the mood—hinting at a celestial narrative that unfolds throughout the space. These unexpected details spark curiosity and set the stage for what lies ahead.

The outdoor space is anchored by a majestic community table carved from a 120-year-old log, naturally felled during the 2022 Satara monsoons. This singular piece of wood is not just furniture—it’s a symbol of resilience, age, and unity. Around it, the flooring in light Kota stone keeps the ambiance breezy and cool, while bursts of color from printed fabrics and blooming bougainvillea add whimsy and vibrancy. The bar facade here is cleverly designed as a puzzle spelling out “Gather”—a playful invitation for guests to interact. The walls feature framed memories of SB Road, rooting the design in its local context and creating a sense of nostalgia.

Step inside, and the mood shifts. The indoor space embraces a neo-classical aesthetic with rich materials, plush seating, and refined details. A grand staircase leads to the mezzanine level, its red-carpeted steps exuding glamour. On the way up, a vintage diver suit hangs dramatically, echoing the indoor theme of “gathering from the depths” as a counterpoint to the spaceward gestures outdoors. At the heart of the indoor experience is a “challenger table” that emerges from the bar, setting the stage for friendly competitions. When in use, a vintage gong resounds, instantly catching everyone’s attention and creating an air of festivity.

The inside-outside bar ensures a fluid experience for patrons, whether lounging under the stars or savoring a more intimate indoor setting. Every detail—whether the wainscoting on the bar facade, the illusionary arch wallpapers, or the curated art—adds to the overall narrative of exploration, elegance, and emotional warmth.

At its core, Gather is a celebration of human spirit. From the ocean’s depths to the lunar surface, it commemorates milestones while embracing everyday joys. Inspired by the idea that “happiness is only real when shared,” it invites guests to come together—to eat, drink, laugh, and gather.
