In Mumbai’s Mahalakshmi neighborhood, teeming with design studios and high-end retail stores, Hatsu commands attention with a polished grey-tiled exterior. Its facade—sprawling with neon-hued marble patterns and asymmetrical windowpanes—boldly contrasts the concrete residential surroundings, hinting at the creative energy within. A physical extension of design studio Hatsu founded in 2017 by Saumil and Yashvi Suchak, the store leads visitors into a sanctuary of eclectic home decor instead. Visually striking and unmistakably Hatsu, the products include the brand’s curated selection of quirky and playful lighting, furniture, and rugs, each exuding a strong identity of their own with a touch of luxe. One of Hatsu’s two physical outposts, the Mumbai store—established in 2019—takes on a distinctly different character from its Bengaluru counterpart, which features a white interior and wood flooring. This store’s contrastingly muted tones dominate the interior, allowing natural and artificial light from the fixtures to interact, shaping the store’s atmosphere with a subtle, immersive glow. The products alone define the store’s interiors— through their abstract and eccentric forms that add a character to your space. Think one-of-a-kind chandeliers merging ceramic pots with metal, wall installations featuring 3D ceramic hearts, eccentric mirrors, and iridescent tables—each piece commanding attention. One the walls and stacked together on the floor are handmade, hand-tufted rugs—each embracing patterns drawn from unexpected sources, from land topographies and pixels to the retro landscapes of Bombay. The store is reminiscent of a haven where imagination is allowed to run unrestricted by convention. Thoughtfully arranged, these pieces transform the space into an immersive, almost futuristic setting where design takes center stage. It is one of those stores that warrants a visit, even if you are not making a purchase—an experience in itself that showcases how India is moving beyond traditional retail, to present products in the most distinctive ways.
