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

NEER London is a leather goods brand that keeps its focus narrow. The current collection does not try to cover every category or mood. Instead, it presents a small range of bags designed around everyday formats, with attention given to layout, proportion, and long-term use. The overall look across the collection remains consistent. Shapes are familiar rather than experimental. Colours stay within a neutral range. Branding is minimal and does not dominate the surface of the ba

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

Colonel Saab doesn’t feel like a restaurant that was “designed” in the conventional sense. It feels more like a place that came together slowly, piece by piece, memory by memory, until it began to resemble a home. Not an ordinary home, but one shaped by travel, inheritance, and a very specific idea of Indian grandeur. Set near Trafalgar Square, it occupies a rare position in London’s dining landscape, not because it is Indian, but because it is unapologetically personal. The

In a city like Mumbai, where reinvention is constant yet memory lingers stubbornly beneath every layer of change, adaptive reuse has become more than a design strategy; it has become a cultural responsibility. Nowhere is this more evident than in Lower Parel, once the industrial backbone of the city’s textile economy, where mills that powered livelihoods and movements have slowly been reabsorbed into Mumbai’s contemporary social life. It is within this charged context that La

What most people don’t realize is that a luxury-scented detergent is not scented the way mass-market laundry powders are, where a sharp synthetic “fresh” note is simply added to mask chemical residue, but is constructed much closer to how a fine fragrance is built, starting with the choice of aroma molecules themselves. Instead of relying on volatile top notes that burn off during the wash cycle, these formulations use heavier fragrance compounds such as musks, woods, resins,

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

Amina Bhatia curates a 1,100 sq ft menswear flagship for Arjan Dugal in Mumbai, blending historic architecture with contemporary elegance. The heritage ceiling, soaring 16 feet high, becomes the centrepiece of the narrative, while the steel beams—one running along the ceiling and another positioned at nine feet—are transformed from structural components into defining elements of the design. With a keen understanding of structure, Amina uses these members to introduce a mezzan

Abhishek Sharma’s latest couture collection, Ratiaranya , was presented in New Delhi in December through a format that resisted spectacle. Shown at The Upper House by Tivoli, the presentation unfolded as a contained experience, allowing the work to be read closely rather than consumed quickly. The collection draws from emotional states rather than overt narrative. References to awakening, desire and instinct appear subtly, carried through texture, form and movement instead of
