IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
1.The focal point of the reception area is this hand-beaten stainless steel and wood boat, whose size is not immediately apparent. It has an inlay of lily leaves in semi-precious stones and mother of pearl on a white marble base.A dramatic light installation spirals over the boat and spreads into the seating area. The lobby wall also features large (9ft long) Jaisalmer stone panels, with Anni work from the region.
2.Fibonacci numbers have been incorporated into the office signage. They appear everywhere in nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants to the pattern of petals on a flower to the bracts of a pine cone. The pattern is, therefore, applicable in everyday life to the growth of every living thing. It also symbolizes the growth of business.
3.Wall panelling in a combination of natural fibres (grass, jute, banana) in natural shades and textures. A balance is created by contrasting the wall panels with sandstone panels in delicate shades of old rose, each framed in dark wood, for the partition walls of the semi-open spaces.
4.Central to the design concept is the idea of bringing the outdoors in. Animal forms, trees, lotus leaves and ferns in wood and stone inlay, etched on glass, or worked on door panels reinforce the design intent. This is a Patachitra painting from Orissa done on board.
5.A gigantic inlay of white marble on the yellow Jaisalmer floor, in the shape of a peepul leaf, creates its own drama on the executive floor. The leaf quirkily extends onto the fascia of the reception counter.
