Add Panache To Your Home

September 29, 2023

Festivities and celebrations are about all things bright and beautiful. Now, the days are happier, and life is merrier. And, as you look forward to infusing your spaces with accent and sophistication, we have a few ideas curated for you to craft a chic, and inviting home for family and guests.

Bring home a magnum opus from the illustrious artisans at Porada with the resplendent Jean dining-table this festive season. It features an exquisitely crafted metal base that immediately gives your space an air of contemporary sophistication. Its crowning glory can be a choice of round or gracefully vaulted 15-millimetre glass top or even solid Canaletto walnut or the timeless allure of marble. The brainchild of the visionary designer Carlo Ballabio, the dining table series evokes a symphony of design and innovation.


Festive seasons are always that time of the year when you want to renovate and refurbish your home. You want easy ways to change the appearance of your spaces and, in doing so, even walk down the path of eco-friendliness. Now, Spanish brand Coordonné helps you do just that with its Aracne collection. Eco-sensitive wallpapers that are made of natural linen and silk fabrics, Aracne features wide-ranging designs–from quaint historical ruins to maps, enchanting spring settings to dream-like nature scapes, stimulating geometric patterns to zen-like atmospheres. Named after Aracne, the master spinner and weaver from Greek mythology, these wallpapers can introduce enthralling moods in your space.


The significance of lighting during celebrations is incomparable. A symbol of prosperity, statement lighting is beyond functional: it is style and luxury. So, if you want to add fresh panache to the home or make a bold, artistic statement, check out Barovier & Toso’s striking Robin suspension lamp. A modern interpretation of the lantern archetype, the design is clean and minimal, instantly reminding us of the age-old shape and function of the iconic lamp. Robin is available in two specifications and a range of colours with a polished chrome or sanitised bronze finish.


Armchairs are more than “for the elderly”. Offering a blend of comfort, style, and versatility, they can be relaxation seating or accent pieces. The Chill-Out Chair for one. A new offering from luxury furniture brand Nivasa, it seamlessly fuses vintage allure with a modern design vernacular. Tailored for superior living and the perfect haven to unwind and recharge, the Chill-Out Chair features an antique raw wood finish and captivating printed fabric. Another armchair that will up the luxe ante of your home is Nivasa’s Chateau Occasional Chair. An accent piece of impeccable artistry, with pure taupe high gloss finish, its velvet upholstery and intricate hand-carved design of the arms is not only sophisticated but also lets you experience unique tactile sensations.


Come festive season, and vases come to play as home decor accents. From filling them with marigolds, roses, and orchids to placing them as centrepieces on dining tables and mantels, or even at the centre of your rangoli, vases add the flair that few decor items can. Designer Arjun Rathi Floppy Vase for example. Defying gravity to achieve frills that cascade like waves, this one in electric blue colour has an avant-garde aesthetic that you would want to stand out during parties. It redefines creativity through exquisite glass sculpting-dramatically evident in the designers Solid Glass Flowers. The delicately crafted flowers reflect nature's fragility while its blue and white colours evoke a snowy effect.


Wish to infuse your home with the essence of light and coziness? Introduce Valo Vase by Utopia & Utility in your living area. Handblown and coldworked in Czechia, the creation is adorned with handcrafted German wood. It is more than a sculpture; it is a radiant vessel that captures and emanates the very essence of illumination. Meaning light, every curve and intricate detail of Valo has been thoughtfully designed to embrace and emit the profound sensation of warmth and light, transforming your surroundings into a serene sanctuary of aesthetics. Crafted by skilled artisans, each Valo sculpture undergoes a meticulous journey. The glass, shaped with precision and intricately carved using a diamond wheel, is a canvas for brilliance. Valo is more than just a sculpture; it offers a transformative experience. With its elegant disassembling, Valo unveils its dual identity as a rounded vase and a lofty wooden container. This duality adds to its charm, allowing you to customize its presence to suit your space and emotions.
