Discover our passions and inspirations, unravel the gossamer threads of enchantment that go into the creation of our designs, and allow us to inspire you.
FLUIDITY
To live is to move, to change, to grow
To live is to move, to change, to grow. To carry ourselves with the grace of flowing water, curving around anything that lies in its path and shimmering alluringly in the light. To become the flow, rather than go with the flow. To create endless impressions on the sand with the playful imagination of the waves. Changing roles, shifting landscapes, expanding horizons, taking any shape we choose. Dipping our heads below the surface of the ocean, the cradle of all life with its infinite palette that ignites the imagination. Everything it touches, the ocean embellishes with an otherworldly beauty, every tide bringing new surprises. The murmur of a secret from the universe held in the spirals of a shell, the roaring crash of waves in all their jubilation, the deep stillness in the middle of swirling chaos.
Organic, mutable, always moving, changing, evolving. There is a kind of spirituality in fluidity.
ROYAL FLAIR
History holds out shimmering visions
History holds out shimmering visions of lost landscapes, forgotten heroes, and vanished treasures, transporting us to the glories of the past which now live on solely in our memory through art, architecture, and legend. The Mughal penchant for elegance and naturalism combined with the Rajput affinity for colour and grandeur makes for a harmonious intermingling of cultures. Extravagant lifestyles, decadent jewels, palaces that were beautiful beyond dreams - the dignity, generosity, and flair of royalty are unmatched. Glamorous maharanis are an eternal muse, a tribe of impossibly sophisticated queens with a visual language and casually imperious style all their own, the very epitome of gracious Indian femininity. Our collective memory is our history, our heritage, our legacy. Drawing deeply from India's artistic heritage, this passion for the past is poured into creating new heirlooms that reimagine our history for a new generation.
NATURALIA
We are deeply connected to the web of life
We are deeply connected to the web of life, and the natural kingdom is a perennial fount of inspiration and awe. There is poetry in the sunlight filtering through a dragonfly's iridescent wing, in the muscled elegance of a majestic tiger and taut grace of a cheetah, in the ever-widening ripples on a still mountain lake. There is glory in the gracious poise of a peacock, the aristocratic power of an eagle, the vibrant playfulness of a parrot. There is mystery in the sinuous grace, lithe form and spellbinding gaze of a python undulating through clear streams. There is enchantment in the evanescence of butterflies, their short lives incandescent with passion and purpose. There is joy in the lush freshness of spring, from the bright hue of young shoots to the velvet spread of lichen covering a tree's bark and the verdant gloss of a stately sycamore. In this fantastical forest of memories and dreams, there is magic at every turn.
THE ROSE
The powdery fragrance
The powdery fragrance, beguiling curves and spiralling petals of roses make for the sweetest of memories. A flower exalted to near-spirituality, revered across cultures and faiths, it is ever-present in divinity, a part of our history and steeped in folklore. From the heady, perfumed air of the Mughal gardens in Kashmir to the pastel profusion in Renaissance artworks, every rose tells a love story. There is no power more potent than love, and no greater symbol of its eternal promise. Its playful pinks, velvety creams and blushing reds are as much about the ecstasy of love as the whimsy of romance.
A rose is beautiful at every stage of its life. Closed in a bud, it represents the innocence of youth and secret passions. In full bloom, it tells of beauty, sensuality, spiritual awakening. And there is poetry and desire even in its decay, the colours and scent intensifying before they scatter in the wind. Could there be a greater ode to a woman?
SURREAL VISION
An irresistible magnet for dreamers
An irresistible magnet for dreamers, doers and daredevils from all over the planet. A city of artists, thinkers, dreamers, merchants and vagabonds. A concrete jungle with a heart of gold. A vortex of chaos from which millions draw hope, meaning and beauty every day. You can feel it in the air, that spark of innovation, that jolt of optimism, that zing of excitement, that electric charge of possibility. City of lights, city of stars, city of dreams. Bombay. Home.
We find beauty in its rhythms, its patterns, its sense of order. We find inspiration in its hypnotic spirals of soaring concrete and the graceful curves and sunburst motifs of its architecture, meeting the gathering clouds of relentless monsoons, the gleaming steel of the enormous bridge connecting this island and the weathered tetrapods that protect promenades. A unique vocabulary of colour and textures, tradition meets cutting-edge technology in an explosion of creative energy.
