Ewald Damen, Creative Director of Virgile + Partners, said:
“The concept of the Maison Particulier as a typical Parisian luxury home and the elegance of the Indian palatial architecture and craftsmanship have been married in a design that references Art Deco style and floral design seen in both cultures.
The narrative of the retail design extends the Maison de Couture and invites customers to browse the various rooms dedicated to a thematic design and reflecting the merchandise and style.”
