Outside view of the Kharghar Studie

Today’s consumer is tech savvy, living fast lifestyle and values the buying experiences like never before. Recently I was invited to launch of a Home Design studio by Godrej at R City Mall Ghatkopar.  U&US Home design studio from Godrej works on the unique concept of involving customers in designing the furniture and interiors solutions for their dream home.  


The process of getting home furniture and interiors done is often tedious, cumbersome, laborious and time-consuming. Customers face a daunting task on deciding on furniture layouting, designing, material selection etc. At U&US we have eased these pains by helping customers perform all the related activities in a very simple way. The entire journey of the customer is activity based and alive with the aid of various digital stations created in an innovative manner.
