A Melange Of Art Deco Design And Jazz Age Flair

The Indian Accent Mumbai venue pays homage to Mumbai's rich Art Deco heritage, which flourished in the city during the 1920s and 1930s. This iconic movement in architecture and design, often called the "jazz age," finds its contemporary expression in the restaurant's interior design. Collaborating with London-based Russell Sage Studio, EHV's Design Director Rohini Kapur and Director of Development Vikas Bhasin have curated a space that captures the essence of Mumbai's past while embracing modernity.

Meanwhile, Rohini Kapur shared her perspective on the design collaboration, stating, "Russell Sage Studios has artfully translated Mumbai's Art Deco influence into a contemporary design, paying homage to the city's heritage. We have seamlessly integrated the captivating images of fine art photographer Rohit Chawla, featuring UNESCO Indian heritage sites and Mumbai's Art Deco gems, to infuse the space with romance and timeless allure."
