Contemporary furniture and antique pieces from Jaipur and Andhra Pradesh, marble pedestals and statues. Located on the East Coast Road, Corniche has it all, in its arched and eye-grabbing interiors. Corniche was started by Sabah Bakhache, who designed the interiors of the showroom herself.

The word Corniche, is derived from the French word cornice, which means an ornamental moulding on the wall, just below the ceiling. Interestingly, Sabah Bakhache discovered by coincidence, that Corniche, in Arabic, means 'A walk by the sea'.

Dining Tables, costing around Rs. 76,000/- and Sofa sets ranging from Rs. 35,000/- to Rs. 50, 000/- are available. All furniture in contemporary design and antiques are in teakwood. Reproductions of antiques are made from sesame wood. Also on display and sale are paintings by budding artists.

Sabah Bakhache says that this venture was basically need driven. As she was setting up home, after her marriage, she sensed the lack of good furniture showrooms in the city. She had already developed a fair knowledge of contemporary furniture from her travels across Europe and South East Asia. This, combined with her experience in the fashion line for over 10 years, has helped her in this venture.
