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

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

Located within Epicuria, Nehru Place, one of Delhi’s most active food and entertainment destinations, Thanks & Beyond is the latest restaurant venture by restaurateur Priyank Sukhija. Spread across 8,000 square feet, the restaurant is conceived not as a singular dining space, but as a layered environment where architecture, interiors, and hospitality work together to shape the overall experience. Designed by Natelier by Bent Chair, led by Natasha Jain and Neeraj Jain, the pro

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

At The Dhan Mill in New Delhi, the new Gazal Gupta flagship opens like a quiet revelation. The entrance, flanked by two whimsical dog sculptures, sets the tone for a space that doesn’t announce itself loudly but settles around you with the calm assurance of a place shaped by intention. Once inside, the soaring vaults, lime-washed surfaces, and monochrome marble floors establish an atmosphere that feels part palace, part contemporary atelier—rooted in memory yet distinctly mod

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

Poltrona Frau’s 2025 “The Five Seasons” collection brings several new pieces into its catalogue, but the one drawing the most attention is Blisscape , a sofa designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba . It takes the brand’s longstanding interest in comfort and craftsmanship and gives it a language that feels unmistakably contemporary. The name comes from a blend of bliss and escape —a small cue to the mood the designers wanted to create. They reference the easy, unhur

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

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

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

Late afternoon light falls across the Liberty façades of Cremona, catching the pale stucco of Via Manzoni and slipping quietly through restored windows. Inside, the 10 Manzoni Aparthotel opens like a secret, with eight residences that read less like rooms and more like compositions. The house, reborn from early-twentieth-century architecture, carries its age gently: ornate cornices, terrazzo floors, and the shadow of craftsmanship that once defined the city. Every detail has

For more than a century, Poltrona Frau has turned craftsmanship into a language of quiet precision. Its latest collaboration, with Six N. Five—the Barcelona-based studio led by Argentine digital artist Ezequiel Pini—extends that legacy into a new dimension: light as emotion, design as poetry. The partnership, revealed with The Five Seasons 2025 collection, is built around two sculptural lamps that explore how digital imagination can find tangible form. Moonbeam and Foliage ar
