Safari Tents

Jnane Karwan — where nomadic heritage meets contemporary refinement.

Punjab Tent

Punjab is inspired by the desert regions of India, where nomadic traditions and camel caravans have long shaped the landscape. The room is defined by strong red tones, chosen to reflect the intensity and presence of colour found throughout India.

The space is anchored by large portraits of Indian figures dressed in traditional clothing: a man who could be a Maharaja and a woman who could be an Indian princess. Meryanne designed the frame for the large mirror, adding a restrained touch of gold using oversized nails.

On the bed lies a suzani, originally from regions such as Turkey and Ouzbekistan, which blends naturally with the aesthetics of an Indian interior. The headboard is upholstered in Indian silk that Meryanne sourced in Jaisalmer during her last journey to India. A small embroidered cushion, made by women in northern Morocco, completes the composition. On either side of the bed are inlaid side tables with a distinctly Indian character.

The wood-and-leather armchairs belong to the Art Deco period and resonate with both Morocco and India during the same era. The rug is a Beni Ouarain from Morocco. Above the bathroom entrance, Meryanne has planned a shelf intended to hold large copper elements, similar to the woven pieces used in the Timbuktu room.

The bathroom introduces a celadon green palette, which Meryanne chose for its strong association with India. Combined with the warm tones of the room, it evokes the atmosphere of a refined hunting camp, where a Maharaja might once have stayed, surrounded by wilderness yet immersed in comfort. Marble surfaces and copper details reinterpret this idea of historic luxury in a contemporary way.
