Women’s footwear today is expected to do more than complete an outfit. It needs to move fluidly through the day, adapt to shifting settings, and still hold its own when the moment calls for elegance. LANGUAGE’s latest women’s footwear collection responds to that expectation with a refined edit rooted in craftsmanship, comfort, and quiet glamour. Inspired by the ease of daytime dressing and the polish of evening wear, the collection focuses on silhouettes that feel celebratory

By Kunal Rohatgi, Director, Fos Lighting For a long time, lighting occupied a secondary role in interior design. It was expected to perform a function, illuminate a room, disappear into the background. Today, that hierarchy has changed. Across modern homes, boutique hotels, and luxury hospitality spaces, lighting has moved to the forefront, shaping how spaces feel, function, and are remembered. Lighting is no longer just about visibility. It has become one of the most express

ASICS SportStyle has collaborated with Japanese fashion label doublet on a new sneaker, the GEL-QUANTUM™ 360 I AMP , built around a clear and playful concept inspired by the world of the Jurassic period. The design features a bold graphic print of a dinosaur’s head extending across the entire upper. Using 3D printing, the surface is given a textured, reptilian-skin–like finish, adding physical depth rather than relying only on visual pattern. Raised polyurethane elements are

Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin has released Mountain Berry Gin with Cherry Blossom , its newest expression shaped by the ecology and seasonal character of Meghalaya’s highlands. Distilled using rainwater and built on an unsweetened, uncoloured base, the gin draws from the high-altitude landscapes of Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, regions known among the wettest on earth. The release continues the brand’s focus on terroir-driven distillation. Rather than layering flavour through ad

At the International Art Carnival 2026 , where more than 800 national and international artists will present their work at Lalit Kala Akademi , one of the youngest exhibitors is already drawing attention. At just 18, Prabhnoor Kaur steps into her first exhibition of this scale, marking a quiet but significant moment in her early artistic journey.

The Great Eastern Home, India’s iconic destination for fine furniture and luxury interiors, unveils its distinguished Sofa Collection, a thoughtfully curated range that celebrates global design legacies while elevating everyday living. Rooted in artistry and heritage, the collection reflects the brand’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, superior materials, and timeless appeal transforming the sofa from a functional necessity into a lasting statement of style and comfort.

The Great Eastern Home has introduced its Signature Sofa Collection, adding to its long-standing catalogue of period-style and classic furniture. Known for its focus on traditional craftsmanship and historical design references, the South Mumbai–based retailer continues to position sofas as long-term furniture pieces rather than trend-driven products. The collection brings together multiple design influences, including Italian-inspired forms, European classical styles, coloni

Echoes of the Hand is a solo exhibition by Gaurab Das, presented by Black Cube Gallery, on view from 30 January to 20 February 2026 at the gallery’s Hauz Khas space in New Delhi. The exhibition brings together a new body of sculptural works that explore touch, memory, and form through materials such as bronze, wood, and stone. Based in Santiniketan, Das works with forms that sit between the human, the animal, and the elemental. His sculptures are not descriptive or narrativ

The Hafele Matrixbox Premium+ Drawer System is designed for modern kitchens, wardrobes, and storage units where performance, durability, and ease of installation are key requirements. As interior design continues to prioritise clean aesthetics and functional detailing, drawer systems need to support both visual consistency and long-term everyday use. Developed by Häfele, the Matrixbox Premium+ features a refined design with clean lines that integrate seamlessly into contempo

Unstill Life is a solo exhibition by Dheer Kaku, currently on view at Method Kala Ghoda. The works in the show focus on architectural spaces, but they are not about buildings in a literal sense. They speak more about inner states, memory, and the difficulty of finding calm. Dheer Kaku grew up with very little private space. As a result, he became attentive to small corners, terraces, gaps between structures, and edges that often go unnoticed. These spaces offered him a sense

Suspended forty-one floors above Mumbai’s restless skyline, A Still Summit unfolds as a composed counterpoint to the city below. Designed by Studio Tattva, led by Aditi Savani, this expansive duplex spanning close to 8,000 square feet is conceived as a home that balances clarity, comfort, and quiet luxury. It belongs to an entrepreneurial couple and their two children, and brings together neoclassical structure, subtle Art Deco references, advanced technology, and a strong e

Blenders Pride has announced the launch of the Zenith Black Edition , a limited-edition expression that brings together a striking black aesthetic with the brand’s iconic blend, creating a distinctive new expression within its premium portfolio. Encased in a dramatic black design, the Zenith Black Edition reflects a design language rooted in luxury and rarity. Crafted for discerning whisky connoisseurs, often described as “the One in a Million”, the release is limited to just

In contemporary kitchens, the conversation around appliances is no longer limited to performance alone. How food is cooked, how much intervention it needs, and how seamlessly an appliance fits into daily life now matter just as much. Hafele’s Midora Full Steam Oven enters this space quietly, positioning steam not as a specialised function but as a natural extension of everyday cooking. At its core, the Midora Full Steam Oven combines full steam capability with conventional ov

Military biographies often struggle with balance and lean too heavily into battlefield detail and the human being disappears and usually they focus only on heroism and the soldier turns into a symbol rather than a person. Para Commando , Deepak Surana’s account of Captain Arun Singh Jasrotia of 9 Para (Special Forces), avoids both traps by keeping its attention firmly on character, discipline, and the quiet choices that define leadership under pressure. Set during counter-ter

Set beside the Kolara Gate of the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, Jungle Homes Tadoba unfolds as a hospitality project shaped by cultural memory as much as by ecological sensitivity. Designed by Nashine Architects , the resort offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Maharashtrian wada, translating its spatial intelligence into a setting deeply attuned to forest, climate, and place. The project emerged from a personal narrative. The clients, Mahara

Set within the serene grounds of The Oberoi Gurgaon , Ziya unfolds as a contemporary dining space where modern Indian cuisine is matched by a deeply considered architectural narrative. Designed by Architecture Discipline , the restaurant balances old-world refinement with a confident, contemporary sensibility, creating an environment that feels both composed and quietly immersive. Overlooking the hotel’s reflective water body, Ziya draws the architectural language of the Obe

Juhu has never really been short of bars. What it has been short of is places that understand pause. Spaces that don’t rush to impress, don’t over-explain themselves, and don’t confuse darkness with drama. KOJAK slips into this gap quietly, above the familiar chaos of Juhu Tara Road, without banners or bravado. You could walk past the building and miss it entirely. Inside, nothing is trying to grab your attention all at once. The first thing you notice is not the music or the

The last show of the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour did not take place inside a hall, or even on land. It unfolded on the Hooghly, with a barge anchored mid-river and the Howrah Bridge watching from behind, unchanged and unmoved. In that setting, Anamika Khanna presented an AK|OK collection that did not ask to be admired as craft in the traditional sense, but as something in the process of becoming. From the start, it was clear this was not about preserving technique in its fami

At Black Cube Gallery , Divine Manifestation , a solo exhibition by Meena Sansanwal , unfolds less as a conventional presentation of artworks and more as an intimate mapping of an inner universe. Presented from 7 to 22 January 2026, the exhibition brings together paintings, paper mache sculptures, and mixed-media installations created over nearly a decade, offering a rare, sustained view into an artist’s evolving inner language. Sansanwal, who studied painting at Delhi Colleg

Gurgaon doesn’t lack Japanese restaurants. In fact, it embraced the cuisine long before it became shorthand for urban cool, and Golf Course Road now reads almost like a curated map of Far Eastern influences. Which is precisely why Oju, filmmaker Karan Johar’s latest restaurant, arrives without needing to announce itself loudly. It doesn’t rely on novelty, celebrity pull, or culinary theatrics to make its point. Instead, it slows things down. Co-owned by Johar and Truepalate H
