In the ever-evolving landscape of Dhan Mill in New Delhi (if you know, you know), the unveiling of Collektklove’s flagship store marks a significant milestone. Founded by designer duo Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth, their flagship store represents a paradigm shift in the industry, offering a unique blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and cultural significance.
For years, the co–founders have captivated audiences with their groundbreaking sculptural objects and lighting installations under the banner of Klove Studio. With this new store, they embark on a new venture, driven by a passion for celebrating cultures, myths, and folklore through design. The transition from Klove Studio to Collektklove represents a conscious effort to democratize decor, making it more accessible and inclusive to a wider audience.
Spread across 4000 square feet, the store is an ode to quiet luxury and minimalism. As patrons step through the entrance, they are greeted by a visually arresting sunset orange-hued wall adorned with the mythical Garuda; a symbol of strength, vigilance, and prosperity. Designed akin to a modern barn, the store’s thatched ceilings and lime-wash finish walls create an ambience of warmth and invitation, setting the stage for an immersive experience. At the heart of the store lies an array of meticulously curated treasures; chic glass accessories, gifting collectibles, souvenirs, and table lamps. The clean and crisp display, complemented by a sculptural tree installation, evokes a sense of serenity and sophistication. Each piece tells a story; a narrative woven from indigenous cultures, nature, and contemporary design sensibilities. As patrons navigate through the store, they are enveloped in a world of beauty and craftsmanship, where every detail is thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of wonder and inspiration.
The store’s collections – Theyyam, Nandi, Shankh, and Tusker serve as a testament to Prateek and Gautam’s artistic vision and cultural reverence. The Theyyam collection, inspired by the captivating dance form rooted in Kerala, pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of India’s southern region. Meanwhile, the Nandi collection celebrates the purity and wisdom symbolized by the revered bull, offering patrons a glimpse into the spiritual essence of Indian mythology. Each collection is a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design sensibilities, creating a harmonious blend of past and present.
Collektklove’s vision here is to elevate blown glass craftsmanship in India to global standards, becoming a beacon of excellence in the luxe decor industry. Their mission, rooted in preserving tradition while embracing modernity, underscores their commitment to creating timeless pieces that inspire wonder and appreciation. Through dedication to quality craftsmanship and artistic innovation, they aim to enrich lives and create cherished mementoes for generations to come. By fostering a deep appreciation for cultural heritage and craftsmanship, the store seeks to redefine the notion of premium decor, making it more accessible and inclusive to all.
As patrons immerse themselves in the curated collections and aesthetic experience, they are invited on a journey of exploration; one that transcends mere shopping and embraces the beauty of artistry and design. With Collektklove, Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth have not only redefined decor but also sparked a renewed appreciation for cultural heritage and craftsmanship. As the brand continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to pioneering excellence in the luxury decor industry, inspiring awe and admiration in patrons around the world.
