Mumbai 1st July 2016: It is not a showroom. It is not a gallery. It is not a display Centre. It is not a stone Yard, it is much more. It is an EXPERIENCE Centre and Stone Museum. It has never been ventured before in any part of the world. For the first time ever in the world, a Luxury Stone Experience Centre and Stone Museum is coming up in Bengaluru. It is the Krismar Experience Centre set up on Sarjapur Road to ‘create awareness, spread information and educate’ the public at large about stones.
500 VARIETIES of STONES from about 100 COUNTRIES
Krismar Experience Centre is uniquely and thoughtfully designed Centre on 40,000 SFT. The Centre has over 500 varieties of stones and imported Marbles & Granite from about 100 countries. It has some of the rarest of rare stones – be it the fossilised stone from Canada or the 3D stone from Brazil or the hardest stone known to man – the Iron Red (which takes about 30 days to cut a slab) or the purest of white stone from Macedonia or the agglomerated stone slab from Italy which is stunningly beautiful or the crocodile patterned slab and much more. One highpoint of the Centre is that there is Onyx Street and a walk through gives an insight into what the stone has to offer in terms of aesthetics, durability etc. Some of the Onyx here are formed eons ago, showing how they have weathered through time and yet stayed beautiful.
The Centre has automated lighting system which enables customers to view the stone of their choice in day as well as night lighting, thus removing any doubts on how the stone slabs may look in their actual homes or offices whether it is during day time or night time. The well-trained executives will give a demo of how the stones may look post installation, while explaining the features of the stones, their strength, their durability etc.
Re-cycled Stone
Krismar Experience Centre is an eco-friendly Centre with solar lighting and rainwater harvesting features. Also the Centre has stone slabs which are made out of recycled waste, beautiful patterns that add aesthetic value to interiors.
The Managing Director of Krismar, Vinay Babu D.R. said ‘while we touch, feel and even go for a trial while we buy clothes, we do not normally do any of these while selecting stones, even though they may cost lakhs of rupees. We leave it to the judgment or decision of either the architect or the builder or the consultant which may not be the right choice after installation. To avoid this ambiguity, we have come up with this Experience Centre which creates awareness, educates and helps make decisions about stones. We are empowering the customer. ”
Super luxury segment fast growth
Mr. Vinay Babu said that the market for semi precious stones and super luxury stones is growing considerably in India, while availability is limited. The marketsize, he estimated, was around Rs. 25,000 crores of which about Rs. 5,000 crores was luxury segment. Krismar imports all of its stones from about 100 countries, mainly from Italy, Spain, Turkey etc. These countries account for nearly 70 per cent of the imports while it brings exotic stones from Afghanistan, Iran, South American countries etc.
Krismar, he said, was established in 2004 and that it had executed projects in various countries. The notable projects include Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Mall and Shangri-La Hotel (in Dubai); Bank of Ceylon and National Museum (Colombo); King George Villa (Scotland); Embassy of United States of America in East Africa etc.
Krismar Experience Centre is world's first stone experience Centre and stone museum all set to woo stone loves, entrepreneurs and architects not only from the India but across the world. It is expected to boost the research and developmental activities in the sector. It is the new feather to the growing popularity of the Bengaluru across the globe.
