Spread across 1315 sq.ft, the Rohit Bal Emporio, showcases class, style and sophistication- qualities akin to Rohit Bal himself. Ambrish Arora, Sidhartha Talwar, Ankur Choksi and Arun Kullu, heading the 15 member team at Lotus Design Services, started off the designing process with inputs from Bal. The client’s brief asked for a design that is dramatic and intense; Indian yet contemporary. One look at the interiors and you get enveloped in the warm and rich milieu of the store. This effect is created by using myriad components like raw and elaborately detailed elements, motifs and colours. The very essence of this boutique is royal and it is due in no small measure to the colour palette and the unique flamed metal hangings from the ceiling. The most important motif seen through the interior design is the lotus- not only is it Bal’s favourite motif, it also signifies Indianess. Since Bal wanted the interiors to show both Indian and contemporary edges, the architects used the lotus motif in many innovative ways to ascertain that the desired effect is created.
