Nicobar, the indigenous lifestyle brand that exudes the vibe of modern India, has just moved into a quaint bungalow at Bandra.
Named after its namesake island, Nicobar has already tasted success at its first store at Kala Ghoda. The move to Bandra continues the easy, relaxed and joyful vibe of the décor, that was evident in the Kala Ghoda outlet.
The brand now occupies a proud space on the ground floor of the famed Patkar Bungalow. At 1200 square feet, it is quite a roomy area that does full justice to the tropical design expression that has become synonymous with the brand’s aesthetic.
“Built in the late 1920s, this colonial style heritage villa stands conspicuously alone in its modern surroundings at the junction between Turner and Linking Road. The outside of the bungalow retains its vintage character with sloping tin roof, grand archways and shuttered windows, while inside, expect to be welcomed by earthy Shahabad stone, warm timber, beautiful high ceilings and an eclectic mix of found furniture, all designed to lend character and add to the store’s coastal appeal,” explains Simran Lal, Co-founder & Creative Director, Nicobar Design Studio.
