Pinakin Patel, one of India’s well renowned architects has launched his signature furniture store ‘PINAKIN’, which offers an extensive range of designer furniture and collectibles especially designed for contemporary living.

Located at Raghuvanshi Mills, Lower Parel, the new store is a metaphor for contemporary lifestyle, combining new age effervescence with a sophisticated intricacy of style and design. The 6,000 sq ft. showroom which showcases complete home fashion themes and concepts for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas will be headed by Pinakin Patel’s protégé and second generation business partner, Mohak Mehta, who felt the need for this venture and inspired Pinakin to come out of his reclusion in Alibag and make a huge comeback in the city.

‘PINAKIN’ is designed in black granite to create a seamless reflective floor with mouth watering chocolate brown walls to add to the pizzazz. A large space at one level becomes visually cluttered as almost all the furniture pieces are at one height, so a raised platform in golden Jaisalmer has been made in the center of the showroom. Some neutral charcoal walls and textured oiled teaks bring in the control over the black and gold from running away to Dubai!

‘Simultaneous’, the first collection of furniture introduced at ‘PINAKIN’, is based on the fact that as Indians, opposite to our western counterparts, we do things simultaneously not sequentially. We all get together and talk at the same time; we interrupt each other, but understand each other. A stranger would find our markets overwhelming in their profusion of sights smells and noises, and yet an Indian can identify what he needs from that confusion in one second! So ‘Simultaneous’ offer the buyer many different cultures and experiences tightly held within a sensibility that is essentially Indian.

The furniture has straight lines, smooth curves and is very sensuous. It is made from various Indian woods such as Burma Teak, Rose Wood and Rubber Wood, in addition to some popular western materials such as Californian Walnut, American Oak and Ebony. Special German hardware for concealed channels and self-pulling hinges have been used in the furniture making process.

It offers sets of furniture pieces that come from a broader bandwidth to be used in thematic groups or mixed and matched for a personal statement.

The exquisite range of furniture includes sofas; profile chairs; center tables; dining tables; dining chairs and beds amongst others.

Besides residential furniture items PINAKIN will also display collectibles in the form of art, artifacts and carpets to delight one’s senses.

‘PINAKIN’ is located at Raghuvanshi Mill Compound, Lower Parel, Mumbai. Tel : 5600 2500 and 5600 2600.
