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

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

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

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

There is a certain quiet thrill in watching a familiar dining brand reinvent itself. NomNom, long known for its indulgent Asian comfort food in Mumbai, does exactly that with its newest outpost in Khar. The restaurant sits on a corner where the neighbourhood’s rhythm softens just enough for design to be noticed, and here, Sumessh Menon Associates shape the space into an experience that feels intimate, layered, and instinctively warm. The 1,400 sq. ft. interior doesn’t rely on

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

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

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

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
