A practical approach to work spaces, and homes that radiate warmth is what makes projects by Bakir and Ali Baldiwala unique. Their traditional work ethic corroborates the fact that technological mediums can, at best, be explored to speed up execution, but it is ultimately human insight that adds great finesse to any piece of work.
Their newest project, Eclectic Tribe, is an amalgamation of different vibes. The common area of this home hosts Cuban inspired armchairs, cushions featuring tribal prints, and metal woven accents. Radiant art by the legendary M.F. Husain and Buddha instantly adds life and accentuates the tribal aesthetic. Industrial touches of marble, wood and glass, with lush teal furnished chairs, dominate the dining area. The artwork and a cane lamp by MuseLab tie together the simple colours and textures in this Mumbai residence. The master bedroom, a minimalist marvel, showcases a steadfast approach to design, with veneer and onyx marble that complement a patterned suede fabric and upholstered bed.
Connected by a cohesive spirit, the house has a tribal personality and a lively collection of stories to tell – it is equal parts eclectic and edgy, but completely in sync.
