Angelo White marble has long been regarded as one of the most refined stones in the luxury materials spectrum, and in its latest presentation by A-Class Marble, it takes on a new clarity. Sourced from the company’s quarries in Zambia, the stone is known not only for its immaculate white field but also for its unusual strength, which sets it apart from many other white marbles used globally. It carries a quiet elegance that works across styles, making it as relevant in a moder

As homes shift toward more open, fluid layouts, the kitchen has become a central space rather than a separate room. This change has pushed kitchen design toward cleaner lines and uninterrupted surfaces, and Hafele’s new Profin Gola Profiles fit directly into this movement. The profiles allow handle-less cabinetry, giving modern kitchens the calm, streamlined look that contemporary interiors increasingly rely on. The Profin system is built around precise engineering. Hafele h

Black Cube Gallery, led by Sanya Malik, opens December with Modern Freskos , the first solo exhibition in India by Berlin-based contemporary artist Paul Kuntze . Born in 1995, Kuntze brings a visual language shaped by history but not defined by it, looking closely at Baroque fresco traditions and translating them into a style that sits firmly in the present. Kuntze’s work begins with a deep interest in the ceiling paintings of old churches and palaces — those large, theatrica

Catellani & Smith’s newest lighting family, Pòta! , has been recognised at the LIT Lighting Design Awards 2025 , securing one of the most respected honours in the global lighting industry. The award places Pòta! among this year’s standout innovations, highlighting its thoughtful balance of material craft, technical refinement, and contemporary aesthetics. The LIT Awards jury, made up of designers, technical experts, and lighting professionals, evaluated more than 1,000 submis

Turri has always treated the home as a place where design and personality overlap, and its newest interpretation of living unfolds through two collections that speak to each other without losing their individual character. Bow, designed by Studio Milo under the creative direction of Arianna Crosetta, and Atelier, created by Matteo Nunziati, come together as parallel versions of Turri’s modern luxury—distinct in expression, yet aligned in language. What ties the two collection

The Great Eastern Home has built its identity around craftsmanship, historical references, and a deep respect for material. Their latest collection continues that line of thinking but takes it in a direction that most people don’t expect- this furniture features ceramic that functions as the core structure of a piece, rather than merely serving as an accent or decorative topper. Ceramic has always been associated with pottery, tiles, tableware, or small decor objects. You don

Set at the edge where Abidjan’s restless energy meets the stillness of the Ébrié Lagoon, Lagoon Villa feels both anchored and weightless. Designed by SAOTA, with interiors by Claude Missir, the home captures the quiet confidence of modernist architecture while responding instinctively to its tropical surroundings. It’s a structure that doesn’t so much sit on the landscape as breathe with it. The villa unfolds along the waterfront, every gesture shaped by the client’s wish to

Paramount House Hotel rises from an 80-year-old warehouse in Sydney’s Surry Hills, its brick shell now crowned by a delicate copper chevron screen that glimmers against the neighbouring art deco architecture of this former film precinct. The hotel is a story of artefact and ornament, of memory and reinvention, expressing the raw, honest fabric of the existing warehouse while capturing the spirit and excitement of the golden era of cinema. The project introduces 29 individuall

For almost a century, Turri has defined Italian luxury through craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design. Founded in 1925 in the heart of Brianza, the brand continues to evolve while preserving the artistry that shaped its legacy. In an exclusive interview with Design Diary International, Andrea Turri, CEO of the company , speaks about Turri’s journey from its artisanal origins to its modern expression of luxury, and how the brand continues to unite tradition with contem

Rami Kadi Maison de Couture closed the second edition of THE EVENT with a runway that held the room’s attention from the moment the first twin models stepped out at Concrete, Alserkal Avenue. Presented as the night’s grand finale, the showcase brought together 35 couture looks, opening with pieces from the Maison’s “L’Éventail” collection and culminating in an ornate bridal gown worn by Emirati influencer Marwa Alhashmi. The presentation stayed true to Rami Kadi’s vocabulary

Unfolding across two serene levels, Mr̥ttikā, a 4,000 sq. ft. penthouse in Gurgaon designed by Custom Design Stories, is imagined as a slow, steady dialogue between material honesty and spatial rhythm. The home opens in a quiet foyer where warm timber flooring sets the tone for a palette that stays true to earth, craft, and subtle tactility. Flanking this entrance is a study-cum-guest bedroom and an enlarged kitchen, both reworked through civil changes that open up the plan a

Dhoomimal Gallery opens its December programme with Ski(e)n: Re-membering through Performance and Thread , an exhibition that brings together RCA alumni Abhijna Vemuru Kasa and Insha Manzoor under the curatorship of Jyoti A Kathpalia. Both artists work from deeply personal terrains, yet their practices intersect on questions of memory, identity, and the structures—cultural, familial, and political—that shape the body. Abhijna, who divides her time between Hyderabad and San Fr

For more than four decades, the Traditional Handicrafts Centre has carried the soul of India’s artisans across borders, quietly preserving what mass production could never replicate — the intimacy between the maker and the material. Founded in 1962 by Mahender Gupta, the family-run enterprise began as a modest effort to preserve the wooden artefacts and carvings of Jodhpur’s master craftsmen. What began as a preservation effort soon became a movement, one that took Indian cra

‘ Zaaviye’ , an Urdu word meaning angles or perspectives, brings together imagery and poetry in a rare and delicate embrace. What began as a dream now unfolds in an intimate exhibition and a finely crafted coffee table book.   The project features 32 evocative black-and-white photographs by Gaurav Bharadwaj, each accompanied by a verse graciously gifted by Gulzar Saab. Together, they form a meditative conversation between word and image — a dialogue between what is visible an

Copenhagen isn’t a city that performs for its visitors. It doesn’t need to. Its appeal lies in the precision of its details - the way a pastry flakes at breakfast, the curve of a chair in a design store, the calm competence of a waiter who’s proud of what he serves. For travellers who measure luxury in experience rather than display, Denmark’s capital offers one of Europe’s most balanced itineraries: exceptional food, confident design, and retail that understands the value of

In the hill town of Cherrapunji, known for its near-constant rain, a small Indian distillery has found a way to turn that weather into identity. Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin, produced by Raincheck Earth Co., is distilled from sustainably harvested rainwater and botanicals native to Meghalaya and the North-East. The gin was conceived by Mayukh Hazarika, who wanted to create a spirit that reflected its origin rather than imitate established European styles. Working with a Dutc

Delhi’s dining scene has no shortage of Italian restaurants, but the city has never truly experienced aperitivo the way it’s lived in Italy—until now. Via Bianca introduces the capital’s first authentic aperitivo menu, a ritual that Italians consider less a meal and more a way of life. Aperitivo, often described as the golden hour of Italian culture, is that pause between day and night when friends gather for a spritz, small plates, and unhurried conversations. At Via Bianca,

There was a time when fashion meant permanence, materials that had to endure, clothes that had to outlive seasons, and textures that resisted change. But today, a quiet rebellion is underway in ateliers across the world. Designers are learning to grow what they once wove. They’re reaching into the earth and sea, searching not for perfection but for possibility, discovering new “skins” that aren’t made but born. These skins are not spun from silk or harvested from hides. They

There’s something almost meditative about watching a Korean woman go through her evening routine. The movements are slow but certain: a pump, a pat, and a pause. Steam curling from a basin, the faint scent of green tea, the quiet patience and care performed without rush. Such care is not vanity; it’s habit, and it’s how generations in Korea have ended their day by following a ritual that feels closer to rest than routine. What the rest of the world calls K-beauty began here,

When two creative worlds meet with quiet confidence, something lasting takes shape. Frette’s new collaboration with interior designer Tara Bernerd, titled ‘Disrupting Architecture,’ brings together a century-old heritage of Italian craftsmanship with a distinctly modern architectural eye. The result is a collection of jacquard-woven throws and cushions that look and feel timeless, designed not just to decorate a home but to define the way it’s experienced. Frette has spent ov
