Museum of Meenakari Heritage & Flagship Store / Studio Lotus

Studio Lotus proposes a unique archetype for retail design with the new brand experience center for luxury jewelry label Sunita Shekhawat. The art of Meenakari or enamel work is an age-old technique renowned for its vibrant and intricate designs on metal surfaces. While enamel work originated in Persia, it has flourished in India, particularly in Rajasthan where it is passed down through the generations and deeply embedded in the region's artistic legacy. This 16th-century art serves as the foundation for the work of well-known Indian jewelry designer, Sunita Shekhawat. Her eponymous brand lends a fresh spin to the age-old tradition with timeless yet contemporary jewelry. Studio Lotus' design for the brand's flagship store and Museum of Meenakari in Jaipur pays homage to this approach; a nod to the region's vibrant cultural heritage amidst a fast-evolving cosmopolitan landscape.
