Spotlight: Anupama

I recently found this line of home collection by Anupama Swaminadhan and it has the most beautiful line of cushions, fabrics, stoles etc..

The pillows are all hand-painted using vegetable and mineral dyes, and, ‘Kalamkari’ on those pillows looks so good… I especially love the more traditional design-form pieces and the ones with mythological narratives depicted on those fabrics. Because the execution is so modern even when the art-form itself is ancient and traditional, the result is quite contemporary and chic!

Where’s Your Bling?

Bling can go onto the strangest things, whether its on the smallest and cheapest (the shuffle) from the ipod family, tipping its price to $40,000 or on a handbag made with leather thats infused with 18k gold! There’s a commode that can bedazzle you or the toaster that can toast with the glimmer of a crystal! There’s of course the Playstation controller in solid white gold and diamonds, but what really takes the cake, are those toothpick sleeves which are diamond encrusted! Really, bling goes on everywhere and anywhere!!

The Good, Good Earth

I absolutely adore The Good Earth store in Khan Market, Delhi. They have the most amazing collection of silk cushions (among other things)!

I saw these most amazing long and narrow silk cushions with a print that was very reminiscent of Warhol-pop-culture-kitsch! They had these cushions with multiple turban clad, mustached men or ones with mughal era/courtesan dancers in those Warhol’esque, multiple color, pop prints! Absolutely fabulous I tell you! I couldn’t find pictures but for more information, go Here! Or if you happen to live in Delhi (or wherever else the stores are), head there! Really.

Just a few weeks ago, Bombay Dyeing unveiled its latest collection, ‘Tao’ designed by Sabyasachi, which inspired by the Oriental philosophy of ‘Taoism’, goes onto recreate that same vibe and design sensibility onto home linens!

The collection consists of an entire range of linens (sheets, comforters, towels, robes etc) and though a little pricey compared to what you can get in the market for the same, the design and quality make up for it, I hear!
