A Sumessh of The latest project that Menon is working on in Colaba, Mumbai, is bringing classical design to life via the utilization of an universe of black and white… It is impossible to deny that Menon’s eye for design and attention to detail has the ability to infuse any home with a sense of mystery and statement décor. This time, he recreates an atmosphere from the past in a salon that is just 550 square feet in size. At the rear alley of the Taj Hotel, there is a person that is standing perfectly still and looking up. Her eyes are drawn to the hotel, which towers above her with its imposing dome and is surrounded by a panorama of Bombay’s many historical landmarks. She pauses for a little period of time, taking everything in, and then proceeds to go in the direction of a white brick wall that has a sign that reads “There She Glows” hanging above it. As soon as she walks through the glass-paneled door at the reception, she is greeted with motifis that have been meticulously constructed. In the middle of a plethora of black-and-white patterns, she gets the impression that she has reached the surrealistic age of Kate Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. She reaches out, enjoying the exquisite form of the white desk, and her fingertips glide down the carved mouldings of the desk. She is content with the timeless beauty of what is all about her. She puts her feet up on the leather futon as she waits for a pedicure that she has been looking forward to for a very long time. She is seated on a high white chair that is a throne suited for a queen. Glass and metal from the present day combine in well with traditional components like as leather, cloth, and mirrors. When one looks into the beveled mirror cladding that is located at the far end of the room, one comes to the understanding that the grandeur of the salon, which is of a modest size, is, in fact, a trick of the eye. After she has finished her beauty routine, she walks across the black and white tiles in the direction of the nearest exit. In a moment of remembrance of the beauty that she has on the inside, her heart beats and her eyes take pleasure in the traditional furnishings for the very last time. In the middle of the austere architecture of ancient Bombay, Sumessh Menon has created a tiny paradise of feminine beauty that he has fittingly titled “There She Glows.” Tiles, wallpaper, furniture, and fittings that have been carefully selected and adapted bring classical design to life in the main salon hall, as well as in the facial rooms and washrooms that are located in a separate establishment. The salon experience is elevated as a result of his creative investigation of the monochromatic color scheme, which highlights the contrast between the modern and the traditional, as well as the realistic and the dreamlike.
