Benzoville Brings Mestre’s Artisanal Hardware to India

22 May 2026 CW Team

Benzoville has introduced the artistic collection of Spanish brand Mestre in India, elevating hardware from functional necessity to design focal point. Established in Valencia in 1952, Mestre is celebrated for intricate, handcrafted fittings using semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, and 24-carat gold plating, offering a sculptural quality that blends architecture, product design, and art.

Designed for bespoke residences and luxury hospitality, these fittings allow architects and interior designers to enrich spatial narratives through materiality, texture, and detailing. By integrating these pieces into minimalist or classical spaces, designers can create subtle yet striking interventions, reflecting individuality and exclusivity.

Mestre’s legacy includes installations in prestigious global settings, including luxury hotels and cinematic projects, underscoring the brand’s association with grandeur. For Benzoville, already a trusted premium hardware partner in India, the collaboration extends its expertise into bathroom fittings, supporting designers seeking consistent quality and design across all project elements.

Akshat Bansal, Director, Benzoville, states, “With Mestre, hardware becomes an extension of creative expression, adding depth, character, and individuality to spaces.” This launch marks a shift in India’s luxury design landscape, where true sophistication lies in curated, detail-oriented craftsmanship.
