"The lifestyle zones really stand out, as they allow one to see how the pieces fit into the real setting. And it is not just about showcasing furniture, it is also about creating stories through the space. Especially our customized furniture, it brings in freedom to co-create, it brings in freedom to co-create with clients," she added.The Experience Centre has been envisioned as a curated home with a warm, elegant, and intimate aesthetic that brings Gauri Khan's celebrated design philosophy to life.
