Benoit Laumaille, Creative Director of Galeries Lafayette, expresses the excitement: “This project is a dialogue between two extraordinary legacies. Opening Galeries Lafayette within two iconic buildings in South Mumbai is an incredible opportunity.” The visionary design features stunning facades adorned with French canopies and lush greenery, evoking the charm of Parisian boulevards.
A cutting-edge architectural addition not only connects the two buildings but also creates a dedicated entrance and central service points, making your shopping experience smoother and more enjoyable. Of course, transforming these historical buildings came with its hurdles. Damen notes, “The biggest challenge has been modernizing the full interior and completely renovating it into a minimalist structure, all while retaining the original façade—an exciting first in India.” Tanishq Proudly Presents ‘Mriganka’ Featuring Manushi Chhillar – Stunning Festive Collection That Whisks You Away to a Captivating Mystical Realm!.
