Riwaayat means a tradition or ritual, like a legacy passed down from one generation to another. Located in Jaipur, Riwaayat is the showroom and retail outlet of a hand block-print trader, whose clients, mainly Europeans, needed a space to meet, discuss business and have a memorable experience. VB Design Studio designed Riwaayat drawing inspiration from Rajasthani, Moroccan and Mughal influences, in a manner that’s contemporary, shows confidence and control in the usage of colours and materials.
In addition to Rajasthani architecture, the design is also influenced by Moroccan and Mughal aesthetics. This is seen in the colour palette, mostly the Natural Coffee colour, textures, wood finishes and upholstery. (Photos by Abhishek Kumawat)
