Poltrona Frau has been putting artists and designers in conversation with its Archibald armchair for several years now, working through Felipe Pantone, Ozwald Boateng, and Fornasetti in a sequence that has pushed the brand's leather craft progressively further in terms of what is technically possible on an upholstered surface, and the Archibald Delicate Balance Limited Edition with Shepard Fairey, unveiled at Salone del Mobile 2026, represents the most ambitious iteration of

Prada has spent over a decade running its Made In project, identifying master craftspeople across the world and building contemporary collections around their techniques, and the latest chapter lands in India with a limited-edition sandal collection inspired by the Kolhapuri Chappal, manufactured by skilled artisans from the Maharashtra and Karnataka regions, where this GI-tagged craft has been made by hand for generations; it is now available in 40 selected Prada stores glob

Marca Corona has been making ceramic surfaces in the Sassuolo district longer than any other company in the area, and the Calcecreta collection draws on that depth of material knowledge to do something that requires genuine craft confidence, recreating the imperfect, time-worn surfaces of lime, earth, and clay in porcelain stoneware with enough textural conviction that the result reads as something remembered rather than manufactured. The collection achieves that quality thro

Pininfarina and InkPoster walked into Milan Design Week with something that the interiors and technology worlds had not seen before, a colored ePaper art poster in A1 format extending to over one meter wide, presented inside the Reflex showroom as the largest of its kind ever made, and the conversation it started at the fair has less to do with screens and displays and considerably more to do with what wall art is allowed to be in a contemporary architectural interior. The di

The kitchen has been renegotiating its place in the home for years, moving steadily away from its origins as a purely functional service space and toward something considerably more central to how people actually live, entertain, and experience their homes on a daily basis, and Italian kitchen brand Febal Casa has been tracking that evolution closely enough that Origina, its newest system presented at Salone del Mobile, reads less like a product launch and more like a conside

Scavolini's new Stilo system, designed by Spalvieri & Del Ciotto, arrives as a whole-home proposition that moves from kitchen to living area to bathroom within a single coherent design language, built around the understanding that the contemporary home no longer organizes itself around fixed, single-purpose rooms but around spaces that shift function across the day and need furnishings that can move with them. The kitchen sits at the center of the Stilo proposal and is treate

Foundry, the new British luxury beauty brand created by cosmetic formulator and perfumer John Kilroy, builds its entire identity around that transparency. It launches from a former Saxon water mill in Frome, Somerset, with an edit of skincare, bodycare, and fragrance that sits as comfortably in the language of high science as it does in the Somerset countryside that physically surrounds it. What makes Foundry genuinely distinct from the wave of science-led brands that have de

Birkenstock has spent 250 years making footwear and the better part of the last decade making ugly-chic not just acceptable but genuinely desirable, so a nail polish collection is either the most logical extension of that brand universe or the most surprising, depending on how you look at it, and the answer turns out to be both at once because the range lands with exactly the kind of considered restraint and functional honesty that has always made the brand difficult to dismi

Suncare has long struggled to balance effective clinical formulas with aesthetically pleasing products that lack scientific credibility. Alta Marea, founded by beauty industry veteran Nico Morga Alden, arrives with a direct and considered answer to that gap, built around the sensory language of the Amalfi Coast and the kind of formulation rigor that daily SPF, the single most evidence-backed step in any skincare routine, has always deserved but has often lacked. The brand dra

Why the World Is Finally Paying Attention Injectables are costly, and surgical facelifts are permanent, leading the beauty industry to fill the gap with devices and products that promise lift but rarely deliver lasting results. Kobido, a 550-year-old Japanese facial technique, is gaining popularity for its effective, hands-only results, as evidenced by long waiting lists in Paris, London, and New York. The surge in interest has everything to do with where consumer sentiment a

NYX Professional Makeup has spent 27 years building its reputation from the jawline up, and the Fat Oil Body collection marks the first time the brand has deliberately moved in the other direction, extending one of its most recognized franchises into a 12-product bodycare edit that brings the same glow-led, texture-forward sensibility of the original Fat Oil lip range to the whole body through a mix of oils, mists, butters, and lotions built around avocado oil and vitamin E a

Italian beauty brand Miamo has made its UK debut carrying a philosophy that was never going to sit quietly on a shelf, founded by pharmacists Dr Elena Aceto di Capriglia and Dr Camilla D'Antonio with CEO Giovanni D'Antonio at the helm of what remains a family-run brand, built from the ground up around rigorously tested formulas, protocol-led routines, and the kind of consistency-first thinking that prioritises long-term skin transformation over the kind of immediate but short

Intimate care has spent a long time on the wrong shelf, sitting in the pharmacy aisle while the rest of the beauty industry moved forward in formulation, packaging, and the kind of sensory experience that makes a product feel worth reaching for, and Juice, the new intimate beauty brand founded by entrepreneur Hanushka Toni, has arrived in the UK with a direct and considered response to exactly that gap, built around a category of product that did not previously exist in this

Escentric Molecules has spent years making the fragrance world reconsider what a single molecule can do, building a devoted following around lab-born ingredients like Iso E Super, a compound created at IFF in 1973 that spent decades working quietly behind the scenes in perfumery, giving compositions a velvety, enveloping quality that most wearers could sense but never quite name, until Geza Schoen pulled it into the foreground in large concentrations and built the now cult-cl

Girgaum's lanes have always held more than the city gives them credit for, and 47-A Khotachi Wadi, a 19th-century Portuguese-style house tucked into one of Mumbai's most storied heritage pockets, is hosting the Hamari Virasat textile exhibition from April 25 to May 10, 2026, bringing together 75 handmade textile artworks that mark 75 years of the Indian Constitution through the hands of makers who have spent lifetimes understanding what its ideals actually feel like at the le

Ardhi Looms has always been drawn to what happens at the beginning of a rug rather than its end, and the Hands of Ardhi collection makes that orientation explicit, rooting itself in the rhythm of the loom and in the quiet, sustained skill of the artisans whose steady hands guide the weaving long before any finished piece finds its place within a living space. Handwoven carpets carry something that speed and machinery cannot produce, the subtle variations in texture, the quiet

Lotus Arts de Vivre has long understood that the most compelling objects in a room are the ones that carry a life of their own, and its animal stool collection makes that case through woven rattan, hand-stitched cowhide leather, iron reinforcement, and metal detailing in a series of pieces where the stool as a form is simply the starting point for something considerably more layered. The Woven Rattan Elephant Stool is the most immediately tactile of the four, handcrafted in w

Stainless steel has always carried a certain industrial certainty about it, the kind of material that belongs to kitchens and infrastructure and functional spaces that do not ask to be looked at twice, and it is exactly that assumption that the Playful Playfood collection by Arttd'inox and Paris-based artist-designer José Lévy arrived to dismantle at The Clearing House in Ballard Estate, Mumbai, on the 7th of April 2026, presenting instead a surreal Indian banquet where the m

Outdoor surfaces have long lagged behind the pace of interior design, and the gap has been particularly visible in decking, where darker wood tones and narrow plank formats continued to dominate even as architects and designers moved firmly toward lighter, more considered material palettes indoors. SPAN FLOORS, known for premium wood flooring and architectural surface systems, has built Terrafina Exterior Decking around precisely that disconnect, offering extra-wide 400 mm pl

Handcrafted home decor has a way of changing the quality of a room entirely, and Milaaya Interiors' latest embroidered textile collection does exactly that through botanical motifs, heritage artisanship, and nature-inspired interiors that feel considered rather than composed. Working across wallpapers and luxury soft furnishings, the spring collection carries delicate florals, organic layered textures, and fine hand embroidery that bring a genuine sense of the outdoors into l
