Sussanne Khan brings Art Deco-inspired design to AGM Vijaylaxmi Groups WIZ commercial project in Mumbai

Interior designer Sussanne Khan has joined hands with AGM Vijaylaxmi Group for WIZ, an upcoming commercial real estate project in Andheri East, Mumbai. The collaboration will see Khan shape the design identity of the development, drawing inspiration from Art Deco while interpreting its defining elements through a contemporary lens. Conceived as an experience-led commercial destination, WIZ aims to bring together architecture, interiors, lighting, artwork and material detailing within a cohesive design language. Rather than recreating traditional Art Deco aesthetics, Khans vision incorporates geometry, symmetry, strong proportions and understated glamour to establish a distinctive identity for the project. Known for her approach to design that combines storytelling, craftsmanship and quiet luxury, Khan is working alongside the wider design team on elements ranging from the architectural vision and material palette to furniture, lighting, artwork and finer details. The idea is to ensure that the functional aspects of the commercial development also contribute to its overall visual character. Sharing her thoughts on the collaboration, Sussanne Khan said, The idea for WIZ was to create a commercial design environment with its own visual rhythm and an emotional character. Our design draws on the confidence and elegance of Art Deco but expresses these qualities through a contemporary lens. Every surface, detail and transition has been considered as part of a larger narrative, so that the experience feels cohesive, inspiring and memorable without compromising its purpose as a place of business. Vikash Kawar, Director, AGM Vijaylaxmi Group, said the collaboration reflects the group's intention to combine functionality with a distinct design identity. He said, Our ambition lies in creating developments that combine functionality with a strong and enduring identity. WIZ reflects this thought process. Sussanne Khan has the ability to bring architecture, art, materials and storytelling together in a cohesive and sophisticated manner. Her involvement has helped to shape an environment that is sophisticated, contemporary and emotionally engaging. Through WIZ, we will offer businesses and investors a future-ready destination that is visually distinctive, thoughtfully designed and relevant for years to come. Gagan Mehta, Director, AGM Vijaylaxmi Group, highlighted the changing expectations of businesses from commercial real estate. He said, Businesses today want to operate efficiently, engage with clients meaningfully and position themselves in a differentiated manner. Commercial real estate must increasingly respond to their evolving requirements. Our approach to WIZ is therefore centred on creating an environment that supports our clients' ambition. We aim to strike a balance that makes the project relevant to both emerging enterprises and established organisations seeking a distinctive and aspirational address. The collaboration also marks a step in AGM Vijaylaxmi Group's broader real estate strategy, which spans commercial, residential, redevelopment and mixed-use projects. With Khan contributing to its design direction, WIZ aims to combine contemporary commercial functionality with a more considered architectural and interior experience.
