Neeta Kumar, furniture and interior designer, and founder of Inhabit, has recently launched her first store in the capital at the Delhi Design District on Mehrauli- Gurgaon Road. The 7,000sq ft store showcases her Bespoke Series and the Studio Collection in an enchanting environment.

The store follows designer Neeta Kumar’s signature style of classic values woven into contemporary mores with a sprinkling of design influences from around the world to evoke a quaintly grand vibe. Carved wooden pillars, colourful carved life- sized candle stands, intricate iron screens, cane screens with arched tops, embellished walls, ornate floor lamps, all create a charming other- worldly environment.

While on one end there are highly embellished walls full of details, on the other hand, there are exposed brick walls. The neutral flooring plays host to exquisitely crafted pieces of furniture.

“The most thrilling part of designing this Bespoke luxury series was to keep it timeless. The quest was to attain detail and uncompromising quality using a vast material palette. It took almost 12- 14 months to generate this line of luxury designs,” said Neeta Kumar.

The design philosophy is shaped by the designer’s experience of the world’s finest architectural styles– be it the glorious confluence of Islamic structure with Hindu ornamentation in the Charminar, the austere grace of the Gothic quatrefoil, or the mesmerizing vectors of Art Deco.
