The entire design playbook could be executed to the nines, with perfect lighting, artistic curation and a soulful milieu. And yet, while seeking pieces for one's own home, all choices are governed by an unvanquished master - the heart. Vikram Bhatt, the Principal Architect at CO.lab Design Studio understands this sentiment all too well. His long-standing relationship with the client brand Luxarte Living only bolstered the design pursuit.

This showroom savours a 13,000 sq ft blueprint, its expanse imagined over an angular floor plate in a premium complex in Surat's heart. Luxarte Living meticulously brings together celebrated Italian and Indian product design houses, rendered to life by Vikram's tactful amalgamation of refined minimalism and material ingenuity.
