Saffron Strings
The design combines two units each of approximately 1000 sq.ft. located in an upmarket commercial building in Andheri, Mumbai, to create office space for 3 companies with distinct roles: Saffron Strings provides wedding planning services, Brandit has a mandate to promote tourism in India for specific foreign countries, and Emerald organises exhibitions and events.
The thrust of the planning was to create as open a plan as possible for each company, with a break out space at the centre. The identity of each firm is established using their brand colours on the floor, walls and in details of the desking systems and fabric upholstery.
Where partitions were necessary, these have been created using slender steel structure with infill of mutliwall polycarbonate sheets. These allow the natural light from the periphery to filter into the inner areas whilst maintaining visual privacy. These gently curved, translucent forms appear as light, free-standing pods interspersed between the few opaque walls.
