Retail Interiors carry the responsibility of not just telling the story of a brand, but also creating an impressive experience for the customer. They allow for a customization of expression ,and personality.The new Commercial furnishing Store in Jodhpur, designed by Ravi and Nupur Architects, not only represents a new attraction in the inner city, it also provides an apposite framework for clients name to display the wide collection of green wall, fabrics, curtain, blinds, stretch ceiling and wallpapers (digital & customized)

The 504-square-feet store which is located on the first floor is nestled amongst a row of commercial stores in Jodhpur’s affluent neighborhood.

The store has a raw, industrial aesthetic that has been softened with a color palette of earthy shades and warm ambient lighting. The most captivating element is the strong graphic impact created by the stretch ceiling lights over the combination of textures and green walls. A pared-down palette and strong forms used in unusual places innovatively, highlight the materials’ rawness. Illumination effects are not scattered or motionless, but well-proportioned and dynamic adding drama and visibility to the entire space.

The assorted mix of textures and materials has been applied across the entire store, including its ceiling, and the sleek shelves that run the length of one of the walls. The heterogeneous intermix of textures creates a beautiful motley, transitioning the spaces into different zones without creating the need for a physical divide. The threshold area is welcoming, with a comfortable blue couch against a background of customized rustic wallpaper, and the contrast is illuminated by track lights suspended from the stretch ceiling. The display panel designed with wallpapers and pockets of green walls immediately transports you to a soulful rendition of modern meets meticulous and gives you the first experience of what the inside has to offer.

Rectangular track lights hang from simple wooden log ceiling, while drapes, upholstery, and wallpapers are displayed on sleek timber shelves that appear on either side of the store. The customized shelving unit runs from the floor to ceiling and showcases a wide offering of easy to choose wallpapers catalogs. The space also functions as an archive and contains a comfortable sitting area with a plush custom-made couch.

Overlooking the street is the bright blue wall with striking sunshine yellow geometric patterns, offering a sneak peek into the rick and elegant interiors. The touch of green wall pockets and a stylish sofa adds a delicious richness to the otherwise rustic ambiance, and the overall combination comes out as fashionable and chic.

Ravi & Nupur Architects designed a store using only the material that the client intends to sell in the store. They wanted everyone coming in to buy the furnishings to experience the look and feel of the materials. The result is a symbiotic relationship between textures and patterns all combusting together to create this dynamic space where every niche and corner tells the product’s story.The Visual Store, at Jodhpur, by Ravi & Nupur Architects 15

Wall As a Public Space
“To read public space only as a spatial condition, as a matter of square footage, zoning, or physical access, is to miss half the picture.”
—Reshma Esther Thomas

Reshma Esther Thomas examines how Hyderabad’s flyover pillars, painted with Cheriyal-style murals under the GHMC’s ‘City Art Scape’ initiative, reveal the paradox of managed public space. What appears to be beautification is actually cultural assertion in the wake of the 2014 bifurcation, bureaucratising a surface that once belonged to those without institutional power.

The Map That Was Never Yours
“If publicness is reduced to what is legally accessible, then these landscapes were never public to begin with.”
—V.V. Kusum Priya

As part of our editorial: What makes a space public?, V.V. Kusum Priya argues that Section 39A of Goa’s 2024 Town and Country Planning Act this isn’t just a legal issue, and that it’s the erosion of an unrecognised but collectively sustained commons, and a question of what “public” really means and who benefits from the legislations surrounding this.

“Appropriation of public spaces is the genesis of political movements, of ideological apparatus, and of endangering the city’s multi-dimensional fabric.”
—Dr. Seema Khanwalkar

Dr. Seema Khanwalkar, explores how the public spaces in India are dynamic, contested areas shaped by informal economies, migration, and social negotiation. She reveals how the transactional activities democratise ownership of these spaces, while the political and religious appropriation increasingly displaces this organic vitality, creating exclusion and anxiety. This shrinking of inclusive public space threatens urban social fabric, yet remains largely absent from city planning conversations, making it a far deeper crisis than mere encroachment.

Sen Kapadia


“… people like Sen [Kapadia] don’t really leave. They become the questions we continue to ask.”
—A Tribute by Nuru Karim

Nuru Karim reflects on his relationship with Sen Kapadia through three transformative “states of being”—as a student, as a studio colleague, and as an independent professional. To capture Sen’s essence, Karim draws on three powerful metaphors: a mountain (commanding yet silent), a banyan tree (generous and sheltering), and a river (unseen yet ever-present). Together, these images paint a portrait of a man whose quiet depth left an indelible mark on all who encountered him.
