The Midas Touch: A Luxurious Apartment with a Golden Twist

Unleashing the Mythology of King Midas in Modern Design

The idea of luxury living takes on a whole new meaning in "The Midas Touch," a residential apartment designed by Prashant Chauhan. Inspired by the mythological King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold, this apartment features streaks of gold in almost every element, with the bar area as its epicenter.

A luxury apartment with a vibrant color palette, "The Midas Touch" is a testament to the client's refined taste. The apartment showcases well-curated lifestyle products from across the globe, creating an atmosphere of opulence and sophistication.

What sets this design apart is the meticulous attention to detail and the seamless integration of gold accents throughout the space. From furniture to accessories, every element is bound together with streaks of gold, creating a cohesive and visually striking aesthetic.

The bar area, which serves as the heart of the home, is a true masterpiece. The 10-feet long bar is made of carbon fiber and is supported by a marine aquarium, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness. The gold mosaic in the bar area further enhances the luxurious ambiance, making it a focal point of the apartment.

One of the standout features of "The Midas Touch" is the Ostrich feather lamp, which adds a touch of whimsy and sophistication to the space. This central element ties the design together, creating a sense of harmony and balance.

The realization of this design was made possible through meticulous research and experimentation. The team behind "The Midas Touch" extensively studied marine aquariums, carbon fiber fabrication, and gold mosaic techniques to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship and quality.

Despite the challenges faced, such as binding all the furniture with streaks of gold and sourcing branded furniture, the design team successfully created a luxurious and cohesive living space that exudes elegance and sophistication.

The "Midas Touch" project, which began in October 2017 and was completed in November 2018, is located in Juhu, Mumbai. It has garnered recognition and acclaim, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, technical skill, and contribute to improving the quality of life.

With "The Midas Touch," Prashant Chauhan has created a truly unique and luxurious living space that combines mythology, innovation, and impeccable design. This apartment is a testament to the power of design to transform spaces and elevate the lifestyle of its inhabitants.
