LIAISON WITH LUXURY
Elle Decor India
|June - July 2025
Orchestrating a dialogue between morphing design and spatial constancy, Luxarte Living's Surat outpost by CO.lab Design Studio presents an elevated outlook on retail experiences
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.
