Vintage collectibles and refurbished old furniture share space with compact contemporary pieces as cats sleepily watch customers walk in to browse the latest collection by owners Sonali and Shalaka Pingale. The duo is known for their tastefully done up homes in Koregaon Park a s well as their sprawling bungalow-store. The iconic store is where old meets new; they source from temples, old homes and havelis and restore the furniture into vintage pieces. “We are built on the concept of upcycling and reusing products,” says Shalaka who shares her mother-in-law Sonali’s love for design and décor and conceptualizes modern pieces like bar cabinets, side tables and drawers in shades of blue, olive, red and distressed white “Utility and looks should go together and along with antique heavy pieces, we also need furniture that is compact to fit into city apartments,” she says. by Aditi Pai
