Over the last few years, we have been witnessing a sea change in customer behaviour & lifestyle. They are looking at brands to amplify their style quotient and enhance their personality. They are aligned with global trends and exposed to international styling.

In order to cater to such consumers, we wanted to innovate and change the way laminates have looked for ages. Instead of making incremental changes, we chose to unveil designs that will radically redefine the decorative space. We thought of ‘revolution’ not ‘evolution’ and who better than Mr Manish Malhotra to turn the ‘revolution’ we had envisioned into reality. He has effortlessly extended his expertise and his customer insight – from dresses to brand labels to accessories to, eventually, furniture.

When it comes to designing what goes inside the wardrobe, Mr Manish Malhotra is the undisputed master. We put up a new challenge for him by asking him to design what goes outside a wardrobe as opposed to one who is globally known for i.e., dresses which goes inside the wardrobe. Not only did he graciously accept the challenge but also reinvented himself to come up with designs that are completely out of this world. CenturyLaminates by Manish Malhotra introduces a designer of this stature into the laminates category for the very first time. This trend beating genre of designer laminates – uber cool, super classy and a pride to own – is aptly described as Fashion for your Furniture. Discerning customers, interior designers and architects will now be like painters & sculptors – mixing & matching these laminates, making their imagination run wild as they create their own masterpieces.”

The range captures the essence of Manish Malhotra’s designs in 3 ways, his penchant for Indian rooted designs presented in world class look and style, his own monogram incorporated in his stunning designs and a very chic very contemporary unique style range.

The films – Where’s Manish & The Video Call – showcasing Manish and his creations, attempt to stoke the aspirations of upwardly mobile, brand-conscious individuals. They address the overarching consumer need – “My home needs to create a buzz in my social set”.

Manish Malhotra is known for the clothes he designs. Over the years, he has associated himself with related categories like cosmetics & jewellery. But till now, he had never designed for a completely unrelated category. When you hear the name, you think fashion and not laminates. Both the films play on this fact to add an element of surprise. Viewers are led to believe they will soon get to see the latest costumes designed by Manish before the big reveal which provides the twist. They realize that Manish has designed the wardrobe yet again, in a manner of speaking, but the outside, not the inside.
