Aesthetic Intexts

At Aesthetic Intexts, we spend most of our time surrounded by fabric swatches and design books. Our place is at Plot No B 50/ 5 in the Deonar Municipal Colony. It's Govandi West, right near the Fire Brigade station, so you might hear the sirens every now and then. The space isn't huge, but we have managed to cram in a lot of samples over the years. We started this because we liked seeing how a room changes with different textures. Usually, the morning starts with clearing off the main table because it gets buried under folders and tape measures. We handle a lot of phone calls from people asking about curtains or wall coverings. It's a lot of back and forth, checking if things are in stock or waiting for deliveries to arrive. Being near the fire station means people use that as a landmark to find us. We don't have a big sign or a shiny front, just a door and a lot of work going on inside. Sometimes we go out to sites to measure things, and other days we stay here trying to figure out a tricky layout. It gets dusty, and the coffee is usually cold before we finish it. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in Mumbai, just a reliable one where people can get their interiors sorted out without a lot of fuss or drama. There is always something to do here and we like keeping busy.
