The interior unfolds into a series of seductive, layered spaces that are both intimate and vibrant. Rich textures and sculptural forms are complemented by bold splashes of colour, adding energy and depth throughout the dining areas.

Lighting played a pivotal role in the redesign, not only enhancing the atmosphere but also acting as a storytelling medium—highlighting architectural details and guiding guests through the space. The result is a revitalized setting that feels fresh yet timeless, perfectly reflecting the elevated culinary journey that Benares continues to offer at the heart of Mayfair.
