Sabyasachi Turns New Delhi Store Into 'Living Museum' With 120 Chandeliers, 300 Artworks, Antique Carpets & Bengal Tiger

Walking into Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s newest Delhi store may feel less like entering a fashion boutique and more like stepping into another era. Chandeliers hang overhead, antique carpets stretch across the floors and artworks compete for attention with couture. Opening on August 25, the new Mehrauli flagship takes the designer’s idea of a retail space as a “living museum” to an even grander scale.

Spread across 26,000 square feet at The Citadel, One Style Mile, Mehrauli, the new flagship is more than twice the size of Sabyasachi’s previous Delhi store. It brings together his fashion collections, High Jewellery and accessories while surrounding them with an elaborate world of art, antiques and Indian craftsmanship.

The idea is central to the designer’s retail philosophy. Rather than creating a conventional store where products simply sit on shelves and racks, Sabyasachi has long treated his boutiques as immersive spaces that tell stories through objects, materials and architecture.

The new Delhi space takes that approach several steps further, drawing from the designer’s fascination with old-world India, travel and his Bengal roots.

The interiors weave together seemingly different references, including railway carriages, steamships, Kashmir houseboats and private cabins. These travel-inspired elements are layered with visual memories of old Kolkata, including references to North Kolkata homes, Hogg Market and Chowringhee.

The result is intentionally maximalist. Instead of leaving walls and corners empty, the store fills them with objects that make the space feel collected over generations.

As per reports, there are around 120 chandeliers, nearly 200 antique carpets, more than 100 antique textiles and approximately 300 original artworks sourced through the Sabyasachi Art Foundation.

Mirrors, vintage furniture and historic decorative pieces add further depth, creating the feeling of wandering through a grand heritage home rather than a newly built retail space.

One of the most eye-catching installations takes inspiration from Calcutta’s historic tramcars. The recreated structure uses wood and etched star-cut glass, bringing an old Kolkata transport icon into the heart of the contemporary flagship.

Inside sits a life-size sculptural Bengal tiger, adding a dramatic focal point while reinforcing the store’s connection to Bengal's visual identity and cultural history.

It is this combination of fashion, art, history and storytelling that makes the space feel distinctly Sabyasachi.
