Lagori is a childhood game most Indians remember instinctively rather than intellectually. The game involves stacking seven stones, knocking them down, and then rebuilding them again. Balance, interruption, repetition. For Nikita Bansal, founder of Yaahvi, that rhythm stayed long after childhood, shaped by afternoons spent playing the game in Assam, and it now finds form in a new handcrafted lighting collection that carries the same sense of tension and reconstruction. The La

Chrome has returned to the Cattelan Italia catalogue. Once closely associated with the 1980s, it now appears in a more controlled, contemporary form, aligned with interiors that move easily between memory and modern production. The emphasis is no longer on shine but on precision, on how the surface responds to light and how it defines structure rather than decoration. That approach is clear in Eva. The chair reads as minimal, but only initially. Its proportions are carefully

What gives Puja Mukherjee Khattri’s Play To Kill its hold on the reader is not loud action but the steady discomfort that comes from watching everyday routines shift in ways the characters cannot explain. Delhi becomes the ideal setting for this kind of story—crowded, fast-moving, and full of places where people disappear into one another’s blind spots. The novel begins with incidents that seem unrelated: a child disappearing inside a supermarket, a break-in that leaves no v

Relationship advice is often delivered in sweeping statements, yet most people struggle not because they lack theory but because they lack clarity. Debotosh Chatterjee approaches this familiar terrain with a different temperament. His book is rooted in everyday behavior—the silences we let grow, the boundaries we fail to set, and the assumptions that settle in unnoticed. Instead of treating relationships as grand emotional undertakings, he breaks them down into habits that de

Fiction set in hospitals often leans on urgency, but Mayank Gupta chooses a different entry point. His debut turns its attention to the quieter corners of a U.S. medical center, observing five Indian doctors who move through the same space while carrying questions they never quite voice. The book isn’t driven by events as much as by the private weight these characters try to balance behind practiced composure. Dr. Silva stands at the center, steady on the surface, until a ban

All Eyes on Me in Bharuch sits inside a structure that already carried some age and texture, so the design team chose not to erase that starting point. The clients were clear about wanting something contemporary but not disconnected from what was already there. With that in mind, the designers kept the exposed brick surfaces, allowing them to set the tone for the rest of the interior. Most decisions that followed were practical: how people would sit, how noise moves in a busy

Method Delhi presents Signs of Life , a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Kunel Gaur, bringing together four bodies of work that explore how emotion, identity, and structure coexist in the designed world. Instead of treating each series as an isolated study, the exhibition ties them together as points along a continuum — one where human nuance intersects with engineered precision. Across the gallery, colour, pattern, and industrial logic operate in measured tens

The landscape of Indian coffee continues to shift, shaped by a generation that cares as much about flavour and aroma as it does about convenience. Stepping naturally into this moment is Vintage Coffee and Beverages Ltd. (VCBL), introducing VINCOFE™ Instant Coffee Pure — a premium, 100% pure instant coffee that reflects the brand’s long-standing relationship with India’s coffee heritage. Vintage Coffee has spent years refining how it speaks to consumers. From the inviting war

At Method Kala Ghoda, Aditiya Singh’s new exhibition, Where is Jennifer? , unfolds less like a thematic show and more like a stream of thought made visible. The question in the title isn’t a mystery to solve; it’s the starting point for a body of work that moves between humour, fixation, instinct, and the quiet chaos that fuels an artist who paints because he has to. The works drift between acrylic, ink, and watercolour, but what stands out is the way figures seem to appear a

UDC Homes’ new collection, The Garden Remembers , carries an emotional clarity that feels unusually grounded for a wallpaper series. Instead of framing nature as a static backdrop, the collection treats it as a living cycle — shifting from abundance to pause to renewal with a rhythm that mirrors our own inner seasons. It is a reminder that even in stillness, something is always moving forward. The idea began with a simple observation: nothing in nature disappears. What falls

Modern Arabesque, a 100 m² apartment in Kazan, Russia, reflects Miller Design’s attempt to bring Eastern cultural cues into a contemporary space without resorting to predictable motifs. The idea wasn’t to create an Oriental interior from the outset; it grew gradually from the client’s request for a home guided by feng shui principles. These principles shaped colour direction, the use of natural materials, the kitchen and bathroom layouts, and the presence of indoor plants. As

This 9,000 sq ft home in Ahmedabad, designed by R+R Architects, works with a straightforward idea — keep the architecture open, keep the materials honest, and let the landscape do its job. Nothing feels forced. The house sits comfortably in its surroundings, with clean volumes, deep overhangs, and a rhythm of solids and voids that give the place an easy, unhurried pace. Large cantilevered sections frame garden views, and the façade mixes textured surfaces with long glass plan

In the dense neighbourhood of Vasna in Ahmedabad, a 7,700 sq ft residence rises from a compact 57’ x 65’ corner plot with a clarity that feels deliberate rather than dramatic. Block House, designed by Prashant Parmar Architect, was shaped around the needs of a joint family of two brothers — a lifestyle that demands privacy, openness, and a sense of togetherness held in careful balance. The client wanted a contemporary home that didn’t shut itself off from the outside yet felt

Oorjaa has always approached lighting from a place of material curiosity rather than decoration, and the Sea Sponge Table Lamp continues that line of thinking with a focus on texture, handcraft, and a slower way of making. The lamp takes its cue from marine life — specifically the irregular, naturally formed structure of sea sponges — but the reference is handled lightly. What stands out is not the imitation of form, but the sense of ease in its contours: nothing sharp, nothi

The Senator Group India has introduced a new modular seating line called Aura Lounge , created in collaboration with French designer Patrick Norguet. Known globally for his ability to pair clarity of form with practical comfort, Norguet brings that same sensibility to this collection, which is aimed at commercial and hospitality environments—corporate lounges, cafés, hotel lobbies, breakout zones, and the growing number of hybrid workspaces in India. Aura Lounge sits under Al

Akina’s arrival in Worli feels less like the opening of a new restaurant and more like the unfolding of a story that has travelled far before finding its home in Mumbai. Designed by Istaka and shaped under the creative direction of Architect Mehak Kapoor, the restaurant brings a quiet, refined interpretation of modern Asian dining — one that holds the familiarity of Japanese minimalism while carrying the wanderlust of global influences collected over time. From the moment you

The first thing that registers about this 7,500 sq ft home in Delhi is its atmosphere. Not dramatic, not imposing – simply a steady, confident presence shaped through charcoal tones, sculptural furniture and meticulously detailed craft. Interior designer Disha Bhutani Subramanium approaches the project without theatrics, allowing the weight of materials, the softness of lighting and the discipline of neoclassical forms to speak for themselves. The homeowners had moved from a

Somany’s new wall-hung closet, Postura , sits within the brand’s French Collection, but it doesn’t lean on ornament or dramatic styling. The idea behind it is simpler and more practical: make a closet that feels natural to use, something that supports the body instead of forcing it into an awkward posture. The result is a product that settles quietly into a bathroom and does its job without trying to look loud or overly sculpted. The design is gentle in the way it presents it

High above Puerto de la Cruz, on a hill that has watched over the north of Tenerife for more than a century, the Gran Hotel Taoro has opened its doors once again. For locals, the silhouette of the building has always carried a sense of nostalgia. For travellers, it has been a name whispered in the island’s early tourism history — the first grand hotel in the region, a jewel from 1890 that shaped how the world once imagined holidays in the Canary Islands. Now, after a meticul

When Jumeirah steps into a new world, it rarely does so quietly. This season, the brand enters the realm of luxury yachting with a partnership that feels almost cinematic: The Maltese Falcon, a Jumeirah Privé Experience . For a hospitality group known for shaping some of the most recognisable silhouettes on the Dubai skyline, the move toward the open sea feels both unexpected and completely aligned with its instinct for grandeur. The Maltese Falcon has long held a mythical pl
