The ambience is warm and fuzzy as you enter the bespoke new furniture boutique at the hub of Delhi's high end furniture market, The MB Road on the way to Gurgaon. It is here that Luxury furniture and interior design brand INHABIT, headquartered out of Hyderabad has lunched its first store in Delhi.

The brainchild and passion of Neeta Kumar, which began in 2004 in Hyderabad and quickly became the 'Go To' place for discerning clients who looked for bespoke furniture pieces that would become the topic of conversation. A range of furniture gets your attention that takes inspiration from the bees. There's an exquisite gold coloured chandelier hanging that has honeycomb designs, cushions, mirror borders, lamp shades, honeycomb jaali walls and partitions are beautifully showcased with the element of the concept - bees aesthetically engraved or designed on them. Designing furniture and interiors comes naturally to Neeta as her family has been in the business of furniture since her childhood.

With her keenly anti-minimal and passionately original approach to design, Neeta Kumar, has charted her own unique path in the interior decor world.The stamp of approval she has received for her highly individualistic style through the success of Inhabit’s Hyderabad outlet, encouraged her to launch her first store in the capital.

Located at the Delhi Design District on Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road, the7,000 sqft store showcases bespoke series and the Studio Collection in an enchanting environment.The store follows designer’s signature style of classic values woven into contemporary mores with a sprinkling of design influences from around the world to evoke a quaintly grand vibe. Carved wooden pillars, colorful carved life-sized candle stands, intricate iron screens, cane screens with arched tops,embellished walls, ornate floor lamps, all create a charming otherworldly environment.

“The most thrilling part of designing this bespoke luxury series was to keep it timeless. The quest was to attain detail and uncompromising quality using a vast material palette. It took almost 12-14 months to generate this line of luxury designs,” says Neeta . The vision was to sustain “Make in India” while giving a tough competition to the mindset of importing furniture.The design philosophy is shaped by the designer’s experience of the world’s finest architectural styles – be it the glorious confluence of Islamic structure with Hindu ornamentation in the Charminar, the austere grace of the Gothic quatrefoil, or the mesmerizing vectors of Art Deco.
