Flagship Store Embarks On A Journey Through Time | MN Design Co By Garima Agarwal
Garima Agarwal, the visionary behind this sanctuary of luxury, orchestrates a symphony of exclusivity and refinement. From semi-precious stones such as amethyst and lapis lazuli to the resplendent allure of green malachite and mother of pearl, each element finds its harmonious abode amidst bespoke furniture meticulously crafted to elevate the senses.
Within the hallowed halls of MN Design Co., Garima’s discerning eye curates an ensemble of solid woods. These are adorn with hand-painted murals with exquisite collection of art and sculptures complementing the space.
The entrance is in shades of white and blue, keeping the English historian art in mind. For the easels, artisans from Jodhpur intricately carved out Pegasus from a single stone.
The dining area has a magnificent design, being the centre of attraction for the entire store. A 6’x6’ black Italian stone inlayed with mother of pearl, the design of “Sakura Collection” takes inspiration from the cherry blossom from Japan.
The intricately carved dining chairs with embroidered fabric complements the PU finishes. The huge chandelier resonates with the old architecture of the building, falling on the dining table center.
The meticulous design of Bedroom Suite includes light hues from the green palette. An intricately high back bed in rattan and teakwood complements the rounded sofa to make the best use of the space. The tables are adorned with artefacts sourced from distinct parts of India to add oomph to the luxurious aura of the space. The walls were once again hand-painted with flowers extending up to the ceiling to complement the 18’ soaring ceilings that were restored and kept as they were in 1857.
This room is the most evident in shades of teal. The study table is made of blue Lapis semi-precious stone with brass inlay and marble. Intricately carved chair by artisans that have worked at our workshop for 15 years, complimented with fabric from the Sabyasachi collection (Nilaya) to give it a royal touch.
The walls are designed in a neo-classic style with teal-coloured PU. Artwork bought from Amar Sultan to complement the space, along with Nandi (Bacchda) sculpture purchased from Sachindra Jha for our designers’ personal collection.
Garima Agarwal, the driving force behind MN Design Co., overall epitomizes resilience and passion. A steadfast advocate for the upliftment of India’s artisans, her philanthropic endeavors through MN Foundation have empowered generations of karigars. This moreover reinforces her commitment to preserving our rich cultural heritage.
