Kartikeya: Vintage Indulgence In Urban Setting

Inspired by colonial architecture and playing with the contrast of black and ivory, designer label Kartikeya’s store in Mumbai, creates an indulgent luxurious space in a small format store, spread across 1000 sq ft. The internal and external fascia have been kept identical with body forms on either side. The lobby, with a show window, has a curtain backdrop, giving it an opulent feel.

Washed wallpapers and antique furniture with stone fireplace adds a vintage old-world feel to it. As the designer wanted to create a luxurious and comfortable shopping experience for clients, the trial rooms are placed on both sides with concealed doors to give a seamless black panel design, which runs through the ceiling as well.

In the lounge space, the language shifts towards ivory; symmetry is followed by creating display wardrobes on all four corners. The lounge is designed with a fireplace on one side and a dresser on the other. There’s ample natural light coming through big glass windows facing the road with body forms on the outer side of the show window.
