MANISH MALHOTRA IN HIS BANDRA HOME, WEARING A BOMBER JACKET FROM HIS LATEST BRIDGE LINE THE LIVING ROOM OF THIS FIVE-STOREY HOUSE IS AN EXPANSIVE SPACE WITH VARIOUS NICHES AND ISLANDS TO SIT IN AND LOUNGE. LARGELY PANELLED IN WOOD, IN ITS ORIGINAL BROWN GRAIN AS WELL AS AN IMPECCABLE WHITE, IT IS A FINE MIX OF MODERN DESIGN TOUCHED WITH CLASSICAL ACCENTS.
A DEEP BURGUNDY SOFA, UPHOLSTERED IN VELVET WITH DRAMATIC FLARED-ARMS, ADDS A SIGNATURE GLAM TOUCH TO THE INTERIORS. IT IS PAIRED WITH A TUFTED, VINTAGE LEATHER SOFA THAT INSPIRES A CLASSIC GRUNGY LOOK. A PHOTOGRAPH OF NEW YORK IN THE 1970S ACCENTUATES THE MOOD, AND NEXT TO IT IS AN UNTITLED ARTWORK OF "A MAN LOOKING FORWARD AND UP IN LIFE". THE FINE SILK PERSIAN CARPET IS ONE OF MALHOTRA'S FAVOURITES
A COLLECTION OF RAZAS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE LIVING ROOM. "ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIG PART OF WHO I AM. WHEN I WALK INTO MY LIVING ROOM, THESE RAZAS ARE THE FIRST THING I SEE EVERYDAY," SAYS MALHOTRA.
THIS INTRICATELY CARVED ANTIQUE WOODEN CHEST, ONE OF MANY, FROM THE GREAT EASTERN HOME IS PLACED TO OFFSET THE OTHERWISE MODERN INTERIORS.
THE ENTRANCE FOYER ALWAYS HAS FRESH FLOWERS ON TOP OF A CHEQUERED CONSOLE TABLE BY GAURI KHAN; AN ANDY WARHOL-ESQUE MARILYN MONROE ARTWORK BY CHINTAN UPADHYAY IS MOUNTED ON THE ADJACENT WALL. "THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ADORE MONROE'S SENSITIVITY AND OTHERS WHO LOVE THE WAY SHE NEVER STOPPED TRYING TO MAKE HER LIFE MORE FULFILLING. I ADMIRE ALL HER PERSONALITY TRAITS AND THIS PAINTING SPEAKS OF ALL HER COLOURS."
MALHOTRA'S LOVE FOR SILVERWARE AND GLASSWARE IS EVIDENT AS HE DECORATES TABLETOPS WITH FRAMED FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS, FRESH FLOWERS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES. "AND NOTHING LIKE A CHANDELIER TO BRING A DASH OF OLD-WORLD CHARM INTO MY HOME."
