feather in its cap with the launch of a
new property on the banks of the River
Ganges. The Taj Rishikesh Resort and

PEACEFUL
FASHION design-
ers are known
to collaborate
with big brands,
but a similar
approach in
other spheres has
witnessed more
creative pursuits.
For instance,
Raseel Gujral’s
prominent home
design brand Casa
Paradox has lent
its design strokes
to hospitality
brand Olive Bar &
Kitchen. A seriesof nature-inspired
wall arts, brilliant
blue paper lan-
terns and match-
ing table accents
have transformed
the elegant colo-
nial structure. But
there is more to
wow the patrons.
The Sunderban
Mahal, soothing
in green, leafy
wallpaper, is an
essential part
of Serai, the bar
on the premises,
and the Mediter-ranean-themed
courtyard now
has more than a
smattering of blue
as Gujral uses
her Urban Jungle
series to perfec-
tion in the form
of wallpaper and
other detailing. At
a time when Olive
is celebrating its
15th year, this
novelty is more
than welcome as
it has given the
place a magical
facelift.COLLABORATIONFood, Drink and Décor
