A new series of powder-coated metal furniture and outdoor solar lights, which charge during the day without electrical wiring, will be launched during the trail. Look out for wall-mounted installations by multi-media artist Smriti Dixit of Art Musings gallery that are designed to form a dialogue with the surrounding space. Her works will draw a visceral connection between personal and collective memories throwing open a window into the past through objects.MASQUEThis fine-dining restaurant will be plating up an eye-catching dish named Rice | Black Bean, inspired by artist Jitish Kallat’s photographic work titled Infinitum, that portrays the many phases of the moon through images of progressively consumed rotis. A creation of Chef Prateek Sadhu, the dish is a fermented rice pancake topped with black bean puree, yoghurt and walnut dip, tastefully garnished with kimchi, nettle and wood sorrel leaves. Playing on the theme of time and sustenance, it taps into a long line of traditional bread-making techniques in Kashmir, where Chef Sadhu grew up and goes back to for creative stimulation.RED, BLUE & YELLOWThe trio that run this store are bound by a common passion for modern furniture design using fine Indian craftsmanship.
