Hindware recently launched its state-of-the-art revolutionary concept store Lacasa in the upscale area of Vile Parle, Mumbai. The 4000 sq. ft. showroom will have digital Integration at every point for easy selection of products where consumers will be provided a smart device to capture their favorite products and then drop all of them into a smart screen for consultancy and building a bathroom of their choice. The specially designed stores will take consumers on an exhilarating journey with multiple alluring bathroom suites displaying beautiful combinations of the products. Apart from the other brands from the house of HSIL Limited, the Lacasa store will also showcase and offer the 4 suites curated by designer Manish Malhotra from the latest super-premium brand Alchymi.
