Mumbai: The
Quarry Gallery, a one-of-its-kind 12000 sq. ft. curated marble gallery, has
been launched in Mumbai’s Kanjur Marg (East) recently with a vision to enable
buyers, architects and interior designers to discover a renewed approach to marble
from selection to purchase to installation.
The Quarry Gallery, launched by Chief Curator - Rupesh
Shinde, boasts a collection of the world's finest marble, stone and rare onyx
under one roof.
The core concept of The Quarry was borne out of founder
Rupesh Shinde's experiences as a commodity trader in London as well as his
apprenticeship of over three years under Italian marble industry stalwarts.
Rupesh caters to the Indian diaspora longing for a destination where marble is
not seen as a commodity, but much closer to a consumer's heart, a piece of art.
Speaking on the launch Rupesh Shinde, Founder, Chief
Curator, The Quarry, commented, "With our gallery, we aim to change the
way marble and stone is being bought and sold traditionally. All of the
timeless qualities of rare marble and stone have been individually curated
during my travels across the world, and are stunningly displayed at our
gallery. At The Quarry, we have the best luxury marble and precious stone
collection from the most prestigious Italian and world quarries."
Till date, the marble-buying pattern has been through
retailers, naturally driven by populist market demand, passion for and
information about the product was always at a premium. The discerning buyer
would have to make trips abroad to get their marble of choice.
The Quarry aims to be this difference, offering buyers in
India carefully curated stories of creation, of art, of opulence and of pride.
Bringing back the passion and knowledge from international veterans, Rupesh
believes in quality craftsmanship and a unique perspective on design that will
be offered to all this clients.
The Quarry will also offer innovations such as bacteria
resistant BactoFinish and QVAC, a special ultra-strengthening technology that
increases the integrity and longevity of every slab.
Extending support to The Quarry team, a number of global
experts and designers from Italy and the UK and Indian architecture were
present during the gala launch. The current Quarry gallery is located at
Kanjurmarg, Mumbai, and the brand has already planned a second gallery in
London to cater to its International customers.
