There are retail spaces that sell products, and then there are spaces that sell experiences. Siddhant Agarwal’s new store at Delhi’s DhanMill belongs to the latter. Designed by Karigar Design Studio under the direction of Ar. Anjali Aggarwal, the store redefines what retail architecture can mean for a brand. It’s built on the philosophy of fluidity, where space, form, and light move together to create an atmosphere that feels effortless yet intentional.

A Vision Rooted in Modern Organic Design

Siddhant’s brief to Karigar Design Studio was precise- create a modern organic interior that feels inviting without being excessive. The studio approached this with sensitivity, crafting a layout that prioritizes proportion, clarity, and openness. Every area of the store feels purposeful. The design doesn’t distract with heavy ornamentation. Instead, it builds calm through control, each curve, line, and transition guiding the visitor smoothly from one zone to the next.

Materiality and Palette

The color palette stays grounded in soft, earthy tones. Beige walls and muted flooring set a neutral foundation that allows light to do the heavy lifting. The surfaces are kept quiet to let the geometry and material texture speak. The balance between organic shapes and structured detailing gives the interior its rhythm. Curves appear where the space needs softness, while linear edges bring order. Together, they create a composition that feels contemporary yet warm.

A Ceiling That Commands the Space

At the core of the design sits its boldest feature- the maroon ceiling. It isn’t decorative; it’s directive. The ceiling flows in sculptural waves, drawing the eye upward and giving the store its unmistakable identity. The undulating surface changes with the light, almost appearing in motion. This architectural gesture becomes the anchor of the space, establishing visual movement and reinforcing the idea of fluidity that defines the entire store.

Light as a Material

Natural light was treated as a design element, not an afterthought. Large rear windows open into a stretch of greenery, creating a constant dialogue between the interior and the outdoors. Sunlight filters through, highlighting the textures and tones within the store while creating dynamic shadows throughout the day. The result is a space that never feels static; it transforms with every hour, adapting its mood as naturally as its materials do.

Spatial Flow and Experience

The planning of the store mirrors Karigar Design Studio’s signature design approach- clear zoning with intuitive circulation. Each section connects fluidly without hard separations. The layout encourages exploration while maintaining balance. It’s designed for people to move, pause, and engage, not just browse. The openness adds to the comfort, while the lack of clutter keeps the focus on the experience rather than the excess.

This clarity extends beyond aesthetics. The spatial planning ensures that every zone receives enough natural light, creating a consistent brightness across the space. The design builds a sense of rhythm, where light, color, and form interact rather than compete.

Emotion Through Simplicity

What makes this project stand out is its restraint. Karigar Design Studio proves that design doesn’t need to shout to make an impact. The space is immersive without being overwhelming. The architecture seamlessly blends physical comfort with visual serenity, transforming the act of shopping into a sensory experience. Every choice from materials to layout builds towards an environment that feels calm yet alive.

A Landmark for Design-Led Retail

In a landscape where retail environments often rely on spectacle, this project offers a more grounded narrative. It embodies the idea that luxury can come from clarity, proportion, and authenticity. The design becomes part of the brand’s identity, reflecting Siddhant Agarwal’s forward-thinking approach to fashion retail.

Karigar Design Studio has created more than a store; it has built an experience that invites people to slow down and connect. It’s a reminder that in the right hands, architecture doesn’t just frame a space, it frames emotion.

Bonafide’s Perspective:

At Bonafide, we celebrate design that challenges convention and transforms space into emotion. Karigar Design Studio’s work at DhanMill reflects this philosophy with precision. It’s not just about architecture; it’s about rhythm, proportion, and pause, the way design can quietly influence how we feel within a space. This project mirrors our belief that true creativity lies in control, not excess. It stands as proof that modern Indian design is evolving beyond aesthetic trends into experiences that breathe, adapt, and connect. For anyone drawn to spaces that blend thought, craft, and feeling, this one is worth walking into and staying a while.
