Design Cafe to open 25 ‘experience centres’ in 12 cities by September


Chennai: Home interiors solutions company Design Cafe plans to open 25 experience centres in around 12 cities across India by September as part of its expansion strategy.


The company is a tech-enabled, modular home interiors brand led by architects and focused on providing ‘affordable designer homes’ personalised to the client’s budget, requirements, taste and style.

Design Cafe will look to expand its footprint into Tier II and Tier III cities this year. It currently has centres in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai.

“We will have centres in Thane, Navi Mumbai and Mysore in place by March 2022,” Gita Ramanan, co-founder of Design Cafe, told ET. “We have a lot of interest from Lucknow, Surat, Ahmedabad, Surat, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Vizag, Kochi and a whole bunch of places. We decided to start with Mysore, because it’s a lot closer to home, and see how it works.”
