Blending Traditional Indian Elements with Contemporary Aesthetics: Inside Eske's Stunning Lower Parel Office

Estellic's latest masterpiece is the newly designed Lower Parel office for Eske. This award-winning luxury interior design studio has crafted a space that not only redefines the concept of a workspace but also offers an immersive brand experience. The 1200 sq. ft. office is a beautiful blend of traditional Indian elements and contemporary aesthetics, creating a sanctuary that fosters both creativity and productivity.

Completed in February 2023, this project showcases Estellic's unique approach to design. We believe in the transformative power of design and its ability to shape the human experience within a built environment. Our commitment to detail and understanding of how design can enhance the user experience is evident in every aspect of this project.

The Eske office is more than just a physical space – it's an extension of the brand's values and personality. We've carefully curated every element, from the materials and textures to the lighting and color palette, to create a space that reflects Eske's core values. The result is a workspace that not only inspires creativity and productivity but also provides a unique and memorable experience for everyone who enters.

A Space that Welcomes and Inspires

Our story begins in the lounge area, a serene space that invites you to pause and reflect.

As you enter the Welcome Lounge, two plush burgundy leather chairs invite you to sit and engage in conversation. Their rich colour and intricate button-tufted details reflect a timeless elegance and commitment to quality craftsmanship. These statement pieces are placed on either side of a beautifully crafted wooden coffee table with a glass top, showcasing the artistry of the woodwork below. The table serves as both a functional surface and a sculptural element, adding visual interest to the space.

Against the wall, a vintage wooden chest offers discreet storage and a display platform for antique metal sculptures, blending old and new elements. This juxtaposition creates a dynamic tension, hinting at our ability to balance tradition and innovation. What truly sets this space apart is the large framed text featuring a verse from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. This thought-provoking element infuses the lounge with philosophical depth, subtly communicating our values and fostering a mindful atmosphere.

Three framed photographs of handbags, a nod to our core business, are artfully arranged on the adjacent wall. Their placement maintains the sophisticated aesthetic without overpowering the ambiance. The raw concrete flooring provides a neutral canvas, allowing the furniture and artwork to take centre stage. Recessed ceiling lights cast a warm glow, while a discreetly placed air conditioning unit ensures a comfortable temperature.

Take a closer look at this wingback chair and you'll appreciate the richness of its burgundy leather and the fine craftsmanship that's gone into its button tufting. What's striking is how this classic chair sits beautifully against the rough texture of the concrete floor, showcasing the designer's skill in combining contrasting textures and styles.

Making the Most of Transitional Spaces:

Transitional areas are often overlooked, but not in this design. A vibrant teal blue panel makes a bold statement in one such space, its textured surface adding a pop of colour and visual interest that immediately grabs your attention.

This panel is a striking design feature that also guides the flow of movement within the office. Next to it, a rustic wooden door with a prominent brass handle adds a contrasting material and texture, creating depth and visual interest. We've repeated this door design throughout the office, like at the washroom entrance, to create a cohesive look that ties all the spaces together. A small elephant sculpture near the panel adds a playful touch and highlights the blend of traditional and modern elements. The two framed certificates on the wall quietly convey our commitment to quality and professionalism.

This corridor view captures the heart of our transitional spaces. It showcases the frosted glass door and window, which connect different areas of the office while maintaining privacy and letting in plenty of natural light. The teal panel and elephant sculpture are still visible, reminding us of the design's thoughtful continuity and artistic touches. The concrete flooring flows smoothly down the corridor, tying together the various zones of the office.

Workspaces Designed for Focus, Teamwork, and Creativity:

The main workspace is a perfect blend of minimalism and style.

Effortless Productivity in a Clutter-Free Space

Our workspace is designed to inspire productivity and comfort. Dark wood desks and matching storage cabinets provide ample space to work and organize, keeping clutter at bay. Ergonomic office chairs prioritize physical well-being, ensuring you can focus on your work without distractions. Laptops and essential tools are neatly arranged, conveying a sense of efficiency and readiness. Two casually placed backpacks on a cabinet hint at a dynamic work culture that values mobility and flexibility.

Artistic Touches Elevate the Space

Two elegant metal crane sculptures add an artistic element, elevating the space beyond functionality. The concrete floor provides a neutral backdrop, allowing the furniture and décor to take center stage. This thoughtful design creates a space that is both professional and visually appealing.

The Founder's Office: A Personalized Approach

The founder's office (Image 9) reflects a unique approach to workspace design, blending professionalism with individual expression. This personalized space is designed to inspire creativity and productivity, while also showcasing the founder's personality.

Eske's founder's workspace exudes modern sophistication. A sleek wooden desk with a contrasting black base sets the tone for a stylish and contemporary work area. The wall features framed Forbes "100 Women" covers, a constant reminder of the power of female leadership and a source of inspiration. The "Eske" logo on the wall adds a touch of subtle branding, reinforcing our identity without being overpowering.

This view of the founder's office reveals its functional side. A sleek white shelving unit keeps office essentials like a printer, files, and supplies in order, reflecting a focus on organization and efficiency. The whiteboard showcases notes and inspiring images, giving a glimpse into the dynamic and collaborative work that happens here. The light wood flooring adds a warm touch, balancing out the minimalist look.

This image highlights the versatility of the founder's office, seamlessly transforming into a meeting space when needed. The arrangement of chairs around the desk reveals a collaborative work culture that encourages interaction.

The manager's cabin is designed for concentrated work, mirroring the office's design aesthetic while ensuring privacy and functionality.

The conference room offers a dedicated space for collaborative discussions and team meetings.

A spacious rectangular table with a warm wooden top and sturdy metal frame creates the perfect setting for team meetings and discussions. The table is paired with cross-backed wooden chairs, designed for comfort and productivity. A frosted glass window allows natural light to pour in while maintaining the room's privacy, creating a bright and welcoming space. Two stylish handbags on the table add a personal touch, subtly reflecting the brand's aesthetic.

Moments of Respite and Personal Refreshment:

We pay special attention to every space, including the washroom, often overlooked in design.

The bathroom features light grey diamond-patterned tiles that create a clean and modern look. A frameless glass shower enclosure with chrome fixtures adds a touch of sophistication. The simple white toilet and minimalist design work together to create a sense of calm and serenity, providing a refreshing escape from the workday.

The washroom entrance, with its rustic wooden door, echoes the office's design language, showcasing a consistent aesthetic. The grey marble tiles and carefully chosen artwork transform this transitional space, making it more than just functional.

The Eske Ethos: A Blend of Style and Substance

What sets this design apart is its ability to merge different elements seamlessly. Antique sculptures sit alongside cutting-edge technology, while rustic wood pairs with polished metal. Philosophical texts share space with symbols of business success. This thoughtful combination creates a rich, layered environment that truly reflects the Eske brand. The use of concrete flooring throughout the office ties everything together, lending an industrial chic vibe that resonates with the brand's modern values. The Eske office is more than just a workspace; it's an experience. Here, heritage meets modernity, functionality meets aesthetics, and every detail communicates the brand's values and commitment to excellence. This design goes beyond the ordinary, inspiring creativity and purpose. It shows the power of design to transform a space into a true reflection of the brand it represents.
