Maison INOX at BKC,
Unfolding the Luxurious Drama
INOX has consistently transformed out-of-home entertainment with superior screening technology and opulent comfort. Nestled in India’s most premium malls– Jio World Centre, Maison INOX continues the legacy of opulence with finesse.
This landmark is India’s first theatre featuring a lounge and bar, an attempt to transform the conventional way of viewing cinemas. The seamless fusion of Art Deco influences and contemporary aesthetics lets design marry innovation. Intertwining effortlessly with sumptuous luxury, the ambience and unparalleled grandeur make Maison INOX a landmark.
The design stays united by invigorating planning, the timeless allure of Art Deco, and functional elegance. From ceiling-to-floor, walls to doors, every inch of this 32,000 sq. ft. property reveals the true essence of luxury. This boutique cinema features six screens, a Galleria zone, and a one-of-a-kind bar and lounge: Gatsby.
Following the brief to craft something unique, designers at Talati and Partners envisioned this venue to be as dramatic as the movies.
‘Going to a movie is much more than the movies. It’s also about the narrative venue sets and transporting visitors into another world. Following these lines, Maison INOX drifts away from the ‘typical.’ It lets visitors step into magnificence,’ mentioned the design team at Talati and Partners.
As you enter the venue, an enchanting lobby greets you with a sense of grandeur. Recognised as ‘The Galleria’, the mainstream lobby enthrals with its suspended ceiling. A pristine blend of white and black marble and brass patterns augments the luxurious experience. The crafted ceiling features mirrors, exotic veneers, and gilt accessories that flank the grandeur. Furthermore, the sweeping chandeliers throughout the property are exceptional in narrating spatial stories.
The design celebrates cinematic art by keeping a keen eye on the details of form and function. A centrally placed gourmet sanctuary serves as a culinary retreat, making the movie experience even more delightful. Geometry, concentric patterns, and premium marble make the space stunning, with an artfully balanced mood board.
Gatsby Bar goes beyond the drinks—it’s an experience evoking the grandeur of The Roaring Twenties and breathing life into Gatsby’s spirits. Drawing inspiration from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby,’ this bar celebrates the timeless elegance and extravagant lifestyle of the Art Deco era, as depicted in the iconic book. The exclusive choice of colours, materials, and furnishings set the stage for storytelling.
This space, emphasizing art, is an example of meticulous craftsmanship, where every little detail is carefully curated to reflect the book’s essence—of opulence and sophistication. With precision in details, no corner stays devoid of design intricacy. Geometric patterns and gilded elements brew opulence and sophistication in the bar. It is not just a place to enjoy a drink; it’s an experience that transports you to a time when the spirit of Gatsby comes alive. A world where every sip tells a story of elegance, every element is a tribute to the masterpiece that inspired it.
It stands out due to its luxurious design and unique features, such as a lounge and bar inspired by Art Deco and contemporary aesthetics.
