CONTEMPORARY FLOURISHES

Meticulously planned by DesigM, the drama unfolds in this gorgeous Mumbai home

The credenza is from Europe and the mirror installation is designed by Munawwar himself. This vignette is compelling as it reflects the decor in a subtle way.

This Mumbai home overlooks two iconic, thriving habitats, Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Arrey Colony. Munawwar Shariffi, the founder and principal designer of DesigM, wanted to celebrate this panoramic green view. As a result, this home mirrors a canvas of emotions. Every piece has a story to narrate.

Munawwar believes that elements will always effortlessly marry into a space...he insists it’s the people who live in it that make a house a home. This apartment marks the third project with the homeowners, and even though Munawwar is well-versed with his client’s preferences, he still ensured lengthy discussions and joint site visits transpired. This level of collaboration defines the home with nuances that are unique and exacting.
