The Ballard Pier Cruise Terminal is Mumbai’s first international cruise terminal, located in the city’s historic downtown near the Gateway of India. As part of a broader revitalization effort—including upcoming cafés and restaurants—we were commissioned to design seating for the departure and arrival lobbies. The seating, conceived as benches, draws from the terminal’s visual identity. Inspired by the wave motif in the brand language, we developed the Wave Bench—a sculptural, undulating form crafted in fiberglass for both comfort and character.

Finished in two custom RAL blues derived from the brand palette, the benches echo the colours of the sea visible from the terminal. Strategically placed across the space, the Wave Benches unify function, identity, and context—bringing a calm visual rhythm to the passenger experience.
