ava double face - red velvet and crystal

Sit back, sink into the red velvet, and let Mumbai set the scene before you even step outside.

Discovered in the lobby of a hotel in Mumbai, this remarkable interior captures the city’s love for spectacle. Deep crimson velvet, gilded mirrors, crystal chandeliers and richly patterned walls transform a simple waiting area into a theatrical salon where every detail competes for attention.

Nothing here is understated. Velvet embraces velvet, gold catches every reflection, and warm light bounces across richly textured surfaces. It feels unmistakably Indian in its confidence—luxurious without apology, elegant without restraint.

Long before the first Bollywood scene unfolds, the atmosphere is already there. Guests arrive from the bustling streets outside and, for a moment, the city slows down. The lobby becomes a place where stories begin: travellers meet, journeys end, and new adventures quietly take shape beneath the glow of crystal and brass.

When translated into textile, RED VELVET preserved that sense of richness and depth. Ornamental motifs, saturated crimson tones, warm golden highlights and soft velvet textures merged into a print that feels both glamorous and welcoming—a celebration of interiors where hospitality itself becomes part of the story.
