Starbucks is paying homage to one of India's oldest yarn and fabric manufacturing sites, by incorporating a fusion of traditional and contemporary elements in its design. The coffee shop features a suspended sculpture woven together with wood, intricate linen textiles, and braided ropes.
The terrazzo floor complements the sturdy concrete walls that rise to a ceiling grid coated in red oxide, an elegant design element that effectively highlights pockets of light and shade, creating an intimate space for customers to enjoy their favourite beverages.
“The launch of our 400th store aligns seamlessly with our growth story to penetrate deeper into\ the heartlands of India. Our journey so far has been one of continuous innovation and growth, driven by a passion for coffee excellence brought alive by creating meaningful customer experiences,” said Sushant Dash, CEO of Tata Starbucks, the 50:50 joint venture coffee company, owned by Tata Consumer Products and Starbucks Corporation.
Since its inception in the Indian market in 2012, Tata Starbucks has expanded its footprint to over 60 cities.
