RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Effingut Baner in its Third outlet wanted to create a place where lot of emphasis would be given on the experience. A brewery that would have a blend of local context of Pune and a beer culture of Germany. Unconventional use of Engine parts for the interior decor was the key factor while going back to the drawing board. Composition of engine cut parts was the essence.
CHALLENGE: The feature wall was huge and was supposed to have composition of car engine parts. These car parts would load the structure and hence needed to cut into slices. Sourcing so many parts was another challenge. All the engine parts were sourced from scrap market of automobile from Delhi. The engines were cut with the help of high pressure water jet cutters and transported on site. Erecting and welding the parts on site was toughest job. Sourcing around 3500 used spark plugs was another challenge.
