Art for corporate, retail & institutional spaces.
For headquarters, regional offices, retail flagships, healthcare facilities, club houses and mixed-use commercial properties. End-to-end, from concept through handover.
Across receptions, workspaces and board rooms.
We work with the real estate team, the fit-out contractor and the interior designer to develop the art layer of a property — across customer-facing zones and the transitional spaces between them.
Recent commercial work includes the Century House offices (Century Ply and Rupa) and Starbucks in Kolkata and Hyderabad.

Common questions.
What does a commercial art programme cover?
Headquarters, regional offices, retail flagships, healthcare facilities, club houses and mixed-use properties — art planned and commissioned across the spaces employees, clients and visitors use.
How is this different from buying office decor?
It is an advisory programme — art chosen for the brand, the architecture and the people who use the space, commissioned where it should be made rather than ordered from a catalogue.
How long does it take?
From about six weeks for a focused scope to twelve months for a large programme, worked back from handover.
Can the art reflect our brand or sector?
Yes — the company's story, sector and identity feed the brief, and commissions can be made to it.
Do you work outside Kolkata?
Yes — across India, shipping and installing pan-India.
