Luxury is defined as a condition of abundance, great ease & comfort, or elegance, especially when involving great expense & producing pleasure. It reflects wants & not needs, & has the idea of "aspirational lifestyle" attached to it.
Zen Approach to Abundance: "Half of humanity has been accepting the inner world but denying the outer world. The other half of humanity has been accepting the material world & denying the inner world. Both are half, & no man who is half can be contented. 
You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science; rich in meditation, rich in consciousness. Only a whole person is a holy person, according to me...I want Zorba and Buddha to meet together..." We interpret Luxury as healthy, wholesome, harmonious & sustainable Abundance; not as hedonism.

​Challenges: 
  • ​TASTE is the constraint! The client has the resources to take their vision to the limit, & more often than not to achieve perfection. Quality is non-compromisable. So taste-making within the framework of market availability can be a challenge.
  • SPACE is not a constraint! This would be an asset most times, but when your Living Room is the size of a football field & your Bedroom is 2.5 times the optimum size prescribed by anthropometric standards, one has to refrain from "filling the space approach" & pay extra attention to color, material, texture, details & decor. Decor becomes as important as furniture.
  • VALUE for MONEY mindset still holds! Sheerly by being an Indian client, this mindset still holds & the client can demand the customisation of international designs at local rates.
  • Changing WHIMS! Although the Design is as per the mood of the flow of space & there is an added element of Drama in it, one has to cater to the changing whims & fancies of a client who has global exposure + is subject to social peer-pressure in the race for "bigger, better, bolder" (status).
  • Market & Natural UNCERTAINTIES! In our case, Covid 2nd wave lockdowns & questionable vendor ethics in those times jeopardised project delivery & profitability in given timeline. But we persevered & delivered.

Opportunities:
  • ​Luxury Interiors is an opportunity to pursue DESIGN EXCELLENCE with the degree of flexibility & liberal approach to resources & design process available on such projects. Perfection, Greatness & Richness in Design are within reach. Also, greater effort can be made to achieve beauty, harmony & balance in the environment.
  • Passion Projects tend to have a better Design Outcome - whether you are working with a neophile, design or decor or even a technology enthusiast. Passion is often the reflection of a soul urge.
  • Character, Individuality, Personality of the client can be truly showcased with due elegance & drama without resorting to vulgar displays of wealth.
  • Increased Empathy & Growth of all parties involved in the project become possible when you are sincerely invested in the DESIGN THINKING PROCESS. Aesthetics becomes as important as Functionality & Durability in Design.
So, if you are looking for a truly symbiotic exchange of ideas, a transformative experience & are in the pursuit of design excellence in the creation of your beautiful, harmonious & luxurious home, do reach out to us @ http://www.bezenintdes.net/contact.html
