A menu booklet for the palace's afternoon tea at the Verandah Café — a duotone cover framed in a gold roundel, and two teas within: a classic Victorian spread and its Indian counterpoint. Gold, cream, and the palace itself.
The brief was an afternoon-tea menu for the Verandah Café at the Rambagh Palace, Jaipur. The design answers with a single restrained language — a deep gold field, a duotone palace photograph held inside a thin gold roundel, and a calligraphic display face for the courses — carried from the cover through every page.
Inside, two teas sit side by side: Victorian Splendor, the classic spread, and Maharaja's Sojourn, an Indian counterpoint — one booklet, one system, two menus.
A palace, held in a ring of gold.
The cover does the whole identity in one image: a sepia photograph of the palace facade, dropped into a fine gold circle on an unbroken gold field, with the Rambagh Palace crest set quietly below. No clutter — just the building, the metal, and the mark.
The interior runs the same cream pages and calligraphic headings across two parallel menus. Victorian Splendor lays out finger sandwiches, scones and pastries with a glass of champagne; Maharaja's Sojourn answers with khaman, kachoris and regional sweets. Photographs of the tiered stand and the café anchor each spread.
