The simple side navigation bar works quite well, both for static pages as well as for the dynamically generated products catalogue.

The Challenge The Process Once a suitable design was conceived, primary and secondary level navigation details were worked out. A prototype site was quickly assembled and shown to the clients for approval. Leveraging on our rich library of code we could quickly model Mirrabelle's product tree and generate the dynamic listings required for the online products catalogue. The entire website was submitted to the client in less than two weeks.
The site's information architecture was pretty straightforward and could quite easily be accommodated in a two level navigation system. Seen here is a section of the masthead with a stylised image of the Matri Mandir at Auroville.
A shopping cart application is currently under development to allow visitors the convenience of ordering products directly from the website. The furniture, which is manufactured here at Pondicherry, is made from the original templates developed by Nakashima. And even the process of treating and polishing the timber follows closely the methods developed by him. |

A sketch of the home page provided to us by the client became the basis of the design direction for the entire website. The detailed annotations helped greatly the HTML and graphics production team.

The Result
The Mirrabelle home page, featuring furniture from the George Nakashima collection. To the left are rollover image links into the online catalogue.
