JAN 30, 2025 | By Team ELLE DECOR India
What happens when aesthetics, craftsmanship, and innovation come together? The result is a space that transcends functionality, offering an immersive experience of sophistication and comfort. From offices that foster creativity to homes that become sanctuaries of self-expression, great design is about seamlessly translating vision into reality.
With an acute understanding of materials and an unwavering commitment to design excellence, ICA Pidilite has established itself as a key partner for architects and designers. Their expertise lies in enhancing interiors with premium wood finishes, supporting the creative process with cutting-edge solutions that bring bold ideas to life. ELLE DECOR India presents four exceptional projects that exemplify the power of design — where every detail, finish and texture contribute to a narrative of innovation and artistry.
Office for Dazzle Marble by Vinay Kothari and Gunjan Chaplot of Advait Architects
Housed in Udaipur, the Office for Dazzle Marble is designed to withstand the test of time. An earthy colour palette unfolds through a visual play of textures, realised through an abundance of wood, cane furniture and brass inlay. Sustainability forms the core tenet of the design process, with ethically sourced teak wood and locally sourced marble complemented by lime and cane, boasting a low environmental impact.
The masterful utilisation of textures is further enhanced by ICA Italian Wood Finishes like Finezza PU Clear Matt, Finezza PU Pigmented Matt and Acquabella Matt, imbuing the space with character. The project balances dramatic statements, such as the reception’s rock-finish marble walls and contrasting elements like raw lime walls juxtaposed against smooth marble floors.
Sangini Arize by Viral Mistry of JVIM
A stunning residence crafted with attention to detail, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship that enhances its overarching splendour. The grand entrance offers a glimpse of the decadent space within, replete with spacious living areas.
Bespoke finishes from ICA, including Finezza PU Clear Matt, Finezza PU Pigmented Matt, Acquabella Naturewood and Creativa Series, have been employed throughout the residence, imbuing it with rich texture and smoothness. Tranquillity pervades as one enters the thoughtfully designed bedrooms, complete with balconies offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
House of Flowing Curves by Gunit Tuli of Off the Grid
In Karnal, Haryana, the House of Flowing Curves was born from the homeowners’ desire for an uninterrupted, expansive home built in harmony with its lush surroundings. Design choices prioritise uninhibited openness. Built around a verdant courtyard, the home features double-height ceilings and minimalist interiors, emerging as a paragon of sophistication.
Finezza PU Clear and Pigmented coatings from ICA Italian Wood Finishes protect the luxurious interiors from wear and tear, imbuing them with a rich feel. The staircase serves as a significant focal point, inspired by the curve of a bird’s wing. It functions as both a sculptural accent and a practical necessity, gracefully winding across multiple floors.
Apartment by Narendra Mistry and Jigar Mistry of Alps interior & Radius.in
Promising to soothe the soul upon entry, this Surat-based apartment designed by Narendra Mistry and Jigar Mistry of Alps interior & Radius.in exudes understated luxury. Aptly named Green Valley, the project displays a blend of form and function.
The resplendent allure of the apartment stems from the interplay of surface treatments achieved through ICA Italian Wood Finishes Finezza PU Clear and Pigmented Matt, along with Acquabella Naturewood. From light wood shutters that ground the space to the opulent sheen complementing the furniture, the designers have crafted a sanctuary of functional elegance.
