Those in the hospitality industry need to take the necessary actions to adapt their furniture to the new covid-19 era. Worldwide, this industry has been affected by the coronavirus and questions have been circulating as to how exactly the industry will adapt our treasured and beloved public spaces to a post covid-19 era. It is more than likely; our social spaces will need an inevitable change. Which means it is vital to understand “social distancing” to develop for our future in this unprecedented pandemic.

The situation as it stands calls for proper architectural solutions in response to the pandemic, Renesa Architecture Design Interiors Studio has conceptualised India’s first covid-19 response restaurant for their Asian New Delhi Social branch.
