Magari In Hyderabad – A culmination of timeless design and inspiring spaces

The concept of creating folds of a plane to form voids helped us develop a design language that flows throughout the store, seamlessly binding all the different spaces. The geometrical form of the folds created a setting that’s ideal for the display of furniture. This resulted exhibits the feeling of an enclosed space without actually creating one. This effect is further enhanced by the type of partition walls, backdrops, window elements and others that were used as part of the design process.

Sustainable Construction

The team’s vision of staying true to the ethos of the space was extended to the structure of the building too. The store is a true testament to the adaptive reuse of an existing building.

The building‘s metal skeleton was exposed in its raw form by stripping away the glass and aluminium composite panels that were part of the building‘s shell. Many internal elements of the building were retained to ensure the core structure remains untouched requiring no further supports or beams to add stability. It also contributed towards the idea of creating folds as part of the shell for the existing structure.

Sustainable To follow the design intent of this atypical facade, the team sought to use a material that is flexible, light and binds the concept of timelessness and authenticity together. The material also needs to maintain strong structural integrity in the varying temperatures and occasional harsh weather elements of tropical India. This made ferrocement the clear choice.

Ferrocement has both, the capability of creating elegant folds finished delicately with sand plaster, and a uniquely organic texture. No additional treatment was required, just expert plastering techniques. Given the team’s inspiration to take this unique, materials-centric approach, the Magari Hyderabad store has a more organic appearance and offers a unique aesthetic over traditional interiors.

Finishing The simple flooring style was maintained with stone-textured tiles and the ceiling was left bare with its structural elements exposed. This clean, minimal structural design means that our visitors’ focus is immediately pulled in by the exquisitely crafted furniture pieces.

The Play of Lights and Moods Magari has always remained synonymous an almost wordless expression of human aspiration and joy. The store’s design creates various moods with the varying degrees of natural sunlight that filters through the large windows. The beautiful play of sunlight bouncing off the characteristic facade of the store, creates a subtle glow-like effect highlighting the furniture pieces and almost placing them in the spotlight to shine. Our Hyderabad store also features an exquisite lighting installation to illuminate the interiors. To bring this art piece to life, our team collaborated with none other than Ankon Mitra, who helped realize this idea from inspiration to installation.

 

The unique lighting design illuminates the large, almost wall-free space of our Hyderabad store. The folded design style carries through to it, making the installation appear like a reflection that depicts the concept of the store design in a glance. The grid-like arrangement of the planes were formed with elephant hide paper to create a diffused glow when a source of light hits the paper. These geometric planes are freely suspended from the ceiling and inspire a sense of movement and rhythm in the space – by reflecting dynamic patterns of light and shadow coming together.

An Experience Like None Other

Each of our furniture pieces are rooted in traditional forms of craftsmanship and design. The team set out to create a space that enables them to stand out. The spaces have been designed in such a way that the visitor can experience the pieces of furniture by interacting with them freely – to get a first-hand appreciation for the unique designs, immaculate textures and detailing. The spaces let us create an environment that offers up a wholesome sensory experience through play of material and light.

Crafting an experiential journey visually and texturally

The staircase for example is in its raw metal structure and softness was added to it by creating a railing that forms a single sweeping curve made of ferrocement with a wooden handrail. The resultant form creates interest as the eyes travel upwards. Similar thought has gone into the layout of the space that allows the visitor to move across seamlessly and appreciate each furniture piece in its entirety. It enables them to visualize the pieces as a part of their homes and experience bespoke craftsmanship.
