Who does not aspire for beautiful things? The story of the House of Magari starts with a simple premise - your home and what goes in it should not only be functional but should also fulfill your home related desires.
The House of Magari, a 9000 square feet home furniture store in Bengaluru has been designed to invoke aspiration. “Magari means hopefulness, anticipation and a sense of ‘what if’. It is exactly the feeling that our collection inspires in you,” explains Amitha Madan, Principal Architect of the store. The store is owned by Karun Mathew and Vishal Wadhwa and aims to provide a onestop solution for all furniture needs for homeowners. The décor of the store aims at inducing a sense of wonder and delight.
A great backdrop allows a product to shine. This is a well-known fact amongst designers. One can see that the varied walls with different effects and colours actually work to create this setting. “The store has two main textures: exposed brick laid in a vertical pattern and exposed cement block again laid vertically. The palate is very neutral and raw. This makes for a great backdrop for the product to take precedence,” explains Madan. The store has cement flooring and solid wood flooring in some areas.
