The concept merges the waves of the Brahmaputra with Starbucks' coffee story _ a reflection of the river brought indoors, with floating brass coffee branches telling how the brand has woven into local life. Traditional craftsmen from Sarthebari's brass industry hand-worked the waves and flowers, while coffee cherries and leaves in clay _ known locally as Pitol _ add organic texture, honouring Assam's bell-metal and clay traditions in a contemporary installation.
