And to bring that alive at India Design ID every year, we partner with various designers to create spaces that are Anything But Ordinary. This year, we have collaborated with Amit Lata and Karan Singh Parmar of Twelve Tomatoes. With quirky tongue-in-cheek collages; palette of millennial pinks and neons; we bring alive our iconic Flurys tearoom from Kolkata.”
Sharing their experience, designers Amit Lata and Karan Singh Parmar of Twelve Tomatoes said, “It is always fun to work with THE Park Hotels — because of their emphasis on art and design. We get a lot of creative liberty, which is not often the case with other clients. For ID2020, we re-interpreted Flurys, an iconic institution, for the 21st century, as a fun and modern teahouse, while also reflecting its origins in Kolkata.”
