With a goddess for luxury
PLANNING AN address shift and still undecided about interiors? Two more showrooms have come up to add to your confusion but interestingly, both claim that the variety of options they offer will make the things simple for customers.
While Re - named after the Hindu Goddess of Luxury - at Shahpur Jat is a creation of a troika of female art professionals and promises to pamper you with customised interior solutions, Silverne- the poetic expression for silver, at Khan Market offers you a wide range of stylised silver accessories and giftware that rhyme with your taste.
Says Alka Jain, artefact designer at Re, "We offer an array of solutions to suit the budget, taste and personality of the customer."
"We show the prospective customer 10 options, which include matching designer curtains, bed linen, upholstery and drapery with tastefully selected murals and paintings. The customer can mix and match according to his choice as well," explains Poonam Burman, interior designer.
To provide a platform to the budding artists, the showroom has devised a novel project, Galleria d' Art, where the works of upcoming sculptors, painters and cartoonists will be displayed for a month in Re, free of cost.
And, if you think that you have to burn a hole in your pocket to please the deity then you are mistaken as Jain can do up a room at as low as Rs.6000. So, worth a darshan.
Silverne, an offspring of Bandhini Home Store on the other hand, is targeting the top half of the society with accessories ranging from Rs.350 to 20,000. "We use 92.5 per cent sterling silver, the highest that can be use used without losing the ductility and malleability of the metal and combine it with semi- precious stones, crystals and glass to bring innovation," claims Preet Inder Singh, the designer. "Be it fruit dishes, condiment dishes, serving platter or candle stands and vases, etc, the designs at Silverne are neither traditionally ornate nor extremely minimal but stylised and this what makes us different," she adds.
Right now, Preet is concentrating on a garden story so one can get fragrance emanating paperweights and butterflies perched on top of vases and candle stands. Any plans for garden shift?
