Aranmula mirrors on the walls!

The residence is flawlessly executed, with various coloured aesthetics

Aranmula mirrors on the walls!

This explicit art is placed in New Delhi, and A 39 is a contemporary home reflecting the family tradition. The third-floor flat is refurbished, enlarged, and perforated to link with a rooftop timber cabin—the formal garden on one side and a water body with a fountain on the other flank it. The client is from an old Rajasthani family with many ancestral artefacts such as art, antiquities, silverware, glassware, etc.

The walls are adorned with Aranmula mirrors, a classic from Kerala utilised by indigenous or South Indian dancers. Traditional elements like brass and wood are used to create a simpler exaggerated, humorous version that fits the modern surroundings. The residence is flawlessly implemented, with various coloured pieces breaking up the areas or textures on the walls.
