The Space
A traditional Indian home in the heart of Kolkata city owned by one of the city's prominent builder families.
The Ask
This was a project that came to us half done. So, certain decisions were already made and we had to work around it. The owners were clear that they were looking to redo the space aesthetically and wanted the space to speak of the family's rich heritage.
The Result
There were lots of interesting details that went into the project. We wanted the house to celebrate Indian craftsmanship and the client was happy to invest in our vision. We got design accessories from Scarlet Splendor, a Kolkata based designer, who is the only Indian designer to have a solo booth at the Salone del Mobile Milano. We have used Arjun Rathi’s exquisite hand finished lighting, adding an innovative twist to the home’s elegant aesthetic.
Many Delhi vendors were called upon for the furniture. We installed clayman antiques in one of the bedrooms for an added layer of traditional art forms to the aesthetic.
Since they had already bought Italian marbles for their flooring, we were happy to integrate it into our plan. We got the client to put us in touch with his sister-in-law, Palak Chaudhary, who is a watercolour artist. We asked her to paint an original design for the rugs and she obliged happily. We then got her creation hand-weaved onto the rugs in Varanasi. Within a few weeks, we had exotic looking, one-of-a-kind rugs for our client’s home.
When the client entered the home, post-renovation, their reaction was unforgettable. They were over the moon to be able to call this perfect blend of modernity and tradition, their home.
