With a vision of narrating a legacy that has been in the making for decades, Kuka Home, recently reignited the conversation around its international design excellence, with a highly anticipated arrival in Kolkata. Launched by the enterprising duo, Sumit Poddar & Rishi Bajaj, the brand, synonymous with its prowess in contemporary furniture design, launched their flagship store in Topsia, a neighbourhood in the central stretch of the city, now steadily ascending as a commercial nexus of Kolkata. The brand is registered in France, with its headquarters in China.
Sprawling a remarkable 11,000 sq ft, the store proudly stands draped with a vast volume that treads two floors, assembled meticulously with a barrage of designer furniture pieces. The plush flagship store showcases dining, living and bedroom concepts displayed against the backdrop of an opulent store interior design. The collection of transitional furniture includes a selection of restful armchairs and sofas, centre tables, chic beds with headboards, and dining tables and chairs that are tasteful and decorous. No inch of the store—or one can easily call it a high-concept gallery too—is sterile or dull, given how seamlessly the classic and the modern, the Indian and the Western, merge together here.
Each design that sits inside the Kuka store spells a distinct style and an elemental appeal of globally-forward aesthetic, resounding perfectly with the elevated aspirations of interior designers, architects, stylists as well as the modern home dwellers, who understand the need of furniture that lends individuality and eclecticism to a living space, all at the same time.
With over 120 designers globally, design innovation is the DNA and passion of Kuka Home. Inspired by fashion, technology & textiles, the brand offers original, award-winning designs that are ahead of the curve, setting trends, resonating with the value-seeking customer.
According to the franchise holder, Mr Rishi Bajaj, “Our store is an extension of the brand’s signature style. Kuka Home stores have always looked like this—a raw floor and raw ceiling and the theme has always been very eclectic, formal, fusion and quite stylish.” A perfect amalgam of old-world charm and contemporary finesse, Kuka Home is where less is not more and more is not a bore.
