Text by: Sadhya Bhatnagar T "he brand new retail outlet and experience centre of Terra Interiors, a manufacturer and retailer of bespoke millwork and modular furniture, is located in Gurugram's Plaza Mall. The 5,200 sq ft showroom is designed to provide customers with an exclusive experience of the range of kitchens and wardrobes the brand offers. The space is intended to display a wide variety of design settings without causing visual overload for the visitor.
As the outlet is located inside a mall, wooden slats were installed in front of the expansive glass displays overlooking the mall atrium to create optimum privacy. These slats are positioned diagonally, such that they conceal the showroom behind, while at the right angle, also display the engraved brand name. The experience centre is split into three major zones: the reception area, the main showroom, and workspaces for the staff.
