Hospitality interior design in Karachi is evolving rapidly, and Cafeela Restaurant’s Highway Branch project is a perfect example of how design can redefine the guest experience. At The Shape Interiors, our goal was to craft an atmosphere that merges modern sophistication with functionality, creating a dining destination that leaves a lasting impression.
