The Manik Bagh palace (The Garden of Jewels) was equipped with the latest in modern refinement. This included a billiard room and a bar in an avant-garde style where the walls shimmered blue and silver and stainless steel, lacquer and leather were the dominating materials. More than 80 years later the Satish bar stool gives us a clear picture of that fascinating era and can still be placed in any stylish bar today. A testament to the fact that a true modern classic never dies.

About the Manik Bagh:

After studies and several long stays in Europe throughout the 1920's, the heir to the ancient Holkar family - Shri Yeshwant Rao Holkar Bahadur - became a fervent art enthusiast and was fascinated by Western avant-garde and the new International Style. In 1930 he commissioned the young German architect Eckart Muthesius to build and furnish the Maharajah's residence in India. Most of the furniture and lighting were made in Germany according to the architect's designs and instructions. Other key furniture objects like tubular steel chairs by Marcel Breuer, the chaise longue by Le Corbusier & Perriand, the transat by Eileen Gray as well as specially commissioned pieces by Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann or Louis Sognot and silverware by Jean Puiforcat became part of this fairy tale palace of Moderenism.

Following studies at the Associated State School for Applied Arts in Berlin and the London Polytechnic, Eckart Muthesius (1904-1989) became a master student in the studio of his father, Hermann Muthesius, the founder of the German Werkbund.

In 1929, Muthesius met Prince Yeshwant Rao Holkar Bahadur in Oxford, the later Maharajah of Indore, who commissioned him to build and furnish his palace "Manik Bagh". Completed four years later, the palace was a masterpiece of the Art Deco style. Muthesius complemented his architecture with his own furniture and lamp designs.
He went on to take up a post as head of the Board of Planning and Restoration of the State of Indore from 1936 to 1939. When the war broke out, he was forced to flee India and return to Berlin, where he worked as a freelance architect. Today the "Manik Bagh" palace is used as the head quarter for the Ministry of Finance, the interior was auctioned off in Monte Carlo in 1980.
