Riwaayat

  • Jaipur
  • By: VB Design Studio
  • Principal Architects: Vipin Bakiwala

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.

Marrying the glorious past and present.

Riwaayat is a medley of assorted patterns, colours and materials. The design reflects the richness of Indian craft through the use of dark wood floors, vibrant wallpapers from Nilaya like Mogholsarai, Indochine Promenade, Sanganer and Bagh-e-fiza, as well as artefacts and motifs.

The dark wooden flooring accentuates the details and warmths of the hand block-printed fabrics on display. The flooring enhances the vibrant colours and takes on a new life when the large windows usher daylight indoors. (Photos by Abhishek Kumawat)
