Unicorns Exist by MuseLAB

The main space holds all the essential functions together,  housing the central workspace flanked by a double-height entrance on one side. The double-height entry lures you in towards the client-meeting room. Tucked away in one corner of this space is the pantry, book-ended by our spiral staircase. On the deep end of this open floor plan facing the entrance door; is a custom-made table with a marble top where the founding partners sit together. In the southeast corner, two windows placed perpendicularly are our place of refuge. It is where we have an informal set-up for quick discussions, coffee and lunch breaks.

Tactile surfaces embedded; in our DNA form a crucial part of our work. It is always about materials, textures and forms. Our studio is where we like to withdraw from everything outwardly and draw inspiration from within. Craftsmanship and collaboration resonate through our practice which reflects within our space. Each furniture piece, object, rug or light piece evokes an emotion. We choose to surround ourselves with objects and art that are unique.

Our space is a result of what we as a practice have been cultivating and nurturing since its inception. The details and gestures within the space are meticulously planned moments of discovery. Materials are layered throughout the space, from warm woods in the custom-made cabinetry and work surfaces to stone countertops and tiles and a custom-made wallpaper in our restrooms. The studio is peppered with some of our own designed furniture pieces and objects. A handwoven custom-made wicker lamp from Wickerstory is suspended over our pantry space. An artwork titled Promise of Time by Garima Gupta is composed of 42 drawings that are backlit and correspond to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Product designer Harshita Jhamtani with whom we often collaborate created a cactus lamp and side table; made in ceramic. This piece sits comfortably in our lounge space. The 'resting chair,' an installation; created by us, sits gracefully by a window reflecting the various moods within the space. Adding soul to a space is essential. Custom-designed objects speak to the architecture of a space. The DNA chandelier fabricated in metal using pipes to form a double helix consists of ceramic bells and contrasting metal baskets. This light installation is representative of who we are and our story. It represents the MuseLAB DNA. The way we do things. Which is difficult to describe but evident in our process and what we create. This chandelier has been; designed in collaboration with Jeet Soneji, one of our own - a MuseLAB alumnus.

Adding soul to a space that tells stories adds substance to a space. Our space is an extension of who we are, and it is an amalgamation of our thoughts and aspirations where we shape intentions and dreams. It is our laboratory where we create concepts with a sense of curiosity and playfulness. We firmly believe that unicorns exist!
