Riwaayat (Display Unit)Realized

The client, a global traveler and a man of impeccable taste, had a very simple brief. His enterprise exports traditional hand-block printed apparels and accessories (beach wear, tunics, bags, scarves, etc.) to a huge clientele across Europe and provides for selected families of Jaipur. He needed this space (46 ft wide and 78’ long), on the third floor of his factory, to provide a luxurious shopping and business experience for his clients. His travel memories and childhood remembrances became the key of the aesthetics- traditional Rajasthani architecture on contemporary lines.
The brief was translated into a space where there is a dialogue between the old and the new. The design language and vocabulary celebrated the Rajasthani architecture, its many influences (mainly Mughal and Moroccan) and the art of block printing which was materialized authentically in both material and workmanship.
The 3,000 sq. ft. open space had abundant of sunlight and a huge potential. However it lacked the palatial proportions so the design was at the risk of becoming obtuse. But with deliberation and forethought, trial and error and experimentation with the aesthetics we were able to achieve the state of the art sophistication possessed by the royal spaces of Rajasthan. We believe, what we delivered will be a whole new level of luxurious experience for the discerning buyers of Jaipur.
