Briefly

The flagship store for Papa Don't Preach in Delhi, designed by DesignHex, embodies whimsical creativity through sculptural designs and organic forms. Drawing inspiration from underwater landscapes, the store features two tonnes of hand-carved wood and CNC-cut elements that form textured surfaces. A soft palette of pinks and blush tones is used throughout, with tree-like supports that enhance the organic theme. Flooring variations of pink marble and micro-concrete add tactile contrast. The large windows invite natural light, enhancing the reflective surfaces and maintaining visual continuity with their Mumbai outlet.
