Festivities collection by Interior Designer Punam Kalra

Given the present circumstances, anything that’s created henceforth needs to be more conscious, inherently warm, joyful, and serene, spreading love, hope, and inspiration. This festive season can be a celebration of our individualistic dreams and personalities, expressed through an experiential interior aesthetic with innovative minimal surfaces, luxurious textures, bold color palettes, and artful formations.

A play of minimal maximalism with contrasting yet harmonious forms and a touch of metallic shades add a raw and intimate textural feel to the décor. The Metallic Romance Living Room Collection contrasts a plush, blush-toned velvet sofa set with statement neo-modern chairs in burnt red and a nude micro pleated sofa. Assorted cushions in velvet, copper, and antique gold adds a touch of glamour and snugness to the room. The varying volumes of the luxe center table, the grandeur of a silver-toned mirror, the elegant geometric side table console, and a lively indoor planter, add to the play of colors, lines, and indulgent metallic detailing, making for a stunning, powerful space.

Designs emphasizing on striking a delicate balance of intriguing textures, exclusive color combinations, and imaginative forms hold an exquisite artistic flair while looking minimal and modern. A play of bright colors, rich deep tones, and subtle neutral shades, complemented with chic patterns like interpreted geometric linework, symbolic motifs, and mixed futuristic art movements, adds warmth and grace to the home.

The Aureate Dining Set channels the magnificence of a marble tabletop with the allure of gold. The slick table, designed in neat edge detailing and contemporary golden textures, paired with reinterpreted Classical chairs in shades of black and gold make for an elegant combination. The chairs with subtle curves, plush upholstery, and high gloss PU finishing create an interesting visual play by contrasting monochrome side chairs with rich gold patterned armchairs, making for a stunning dining experience.
Strong colors like blue and red, accented with tonal shades like lime and tangerine, or with luxe metallic fabric, make for a spirited décor. The Crimson Pleats Chair is a red-hued chair in plush fabric and minimal wooden legs. It is a relaxed piece of furniture that radiates charm and romanticism. The soft-edged, cleanly pleated backrest wraps a circular seat and gold patterned cushion, adding a hint of modern retro to the room. The nimble detailing and indulgent textures make for statement furniture adding fun and gravitas to the interiors.
Muted shades like blush, teal, and lilac, create a gentle yet suave ambiance. The Peach Chaise embodies the cheeriness of the peach color, adding a soft, artistic aesthetic to the interiors. The plush peach fabric is accentuated with a subtly tufted detailing, curved edges, complementary minimal PU finished legs, and a cozy cushion with micro pleating details, channeling a dreamy and contemporary enthusiasm into the room. It can be paired with vivid forest or nature-inspired colors and motifs in wallpapers, tiles, and statement accessories to create a vibrant interior.
Modern adaptations of conventional festive décor, made in eco-conscious materials, with imaginative etchings, carvings, or inlays add integrity to the interiors. Statement lighting in metallic and tonal hues or even semi-precious stones, add delicate light patterns, highlighting the space. Artisanal accessories such as ceramics, stoneware, pottery, Urulis, and vases in assorted materials and shapes further enhance the existing décor by creating integrated sensorial experiences. A combination of fresh flowers, aroma diffusers, and fragrant candles can also enhance the décor by adding a pleasing aroma to the house.

“Continuum” Brings Art Into Living Spaces Through an Immersive Showcase

Continuum, an immersive art exhibition curated by Gauri Minocha, successfully previewed on 11 April 2026 at The Art Hub Gallery, Gurgaon. The exhibition runs from 12 April to 1 May 2026 and marks a new chapter, inviting audiences to experience art in a thoughtfully designed domestic setting that encourages a more personal, lived engagement.
Unfolding across rooms, hallways, stairways, terraces, and lawns, each space becomes an active site of interaction. This fluid spatial narrative mirrors the rhythms of everyday life—encouraging moments of rest, reflection, transition, and conversation, while allowing viewers to encounter art in an intimate and immersive manner.
Bringing together nearly 100 artworks, Continuum presents a carefully curated selection of South Asian artists across generations, ranging from modern masters to contemporary practitioners. Moving away from a linear curatorial framework, the exhibition creates intergenerational dialogues, placing works in conversation across time, mediums, and artistic approaches. These juxtapositions generate meaningful intersections between tradition and experimentation, memory and immediacy.
The exhibition features a diverse and expansive roster of artists including Avijit Roy, Badri Narayan, Bazil Habib, Deepak Kaushlya, Dharmanarayan Dasgupta, Francis Newton Souza, Ganesh Haloi, Hadia Hassan, Haneen Almoosawi, Jamini Roy, Jogen Chowdhury, Kanchan Chander, Kumari Nahappan, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Madhuri Bhaduri, Pallav Chander, Prakash Karmakar, Rabin Mondal, Ram Kumar, Ramkinkar Baij, Sanjay Kumar, Shakil Solanki, Simran KS Lamba, Somnath Hore, Sonaly Gandhi, Suhas Roy, Susanta Das, Tahira Noreen, The Art Hub Designs, Thilini Jinadasa, and Vivan Sundaram, among others—spanning generations, geographies, and artistic disciplines.
By situating artworks within lived interiors as well as open-air settings, Continuum dissolves boundaries between art and everyday life, as well as between interior and exterior, and private and public spaces. The exhibition encourages a slower, more contemplative mode of viewing—where art is experienced not in isolation, but as part of a continuous, evolving environment.

From Social Stigma to Olympic Glory: Dreamers Chronicles Sakshi Malik’s Fight to Redefine Wrestling for Girls

Dreamers-The Storytelling Series, helmed by celebrated storyteller Sudhanshu Rai, returns with a powerful third episode that chronicles the extraordinary journey of India’s wrestling icon, Sakshi Malik, a story of belief, defiance, setbacks, and historic triumph.
In this deeply moving episode, Sudhanshu Rai brings to life Sakshi Malik’s early childhood, highlighting how her grandparents were the first to recognize her exceptional talent. Long before medals and podiums, it was their unwavering faith that nurtured a fearless young girl who dared to step onto the wrestling mat, often against boys, and stunned onlookers with her strength and skill at a time when many believed wrestling was “not a sport for women.”
The episode vividly captures the social barriers Sakshi confronted as she challenged entrenched stereotypes and proved, bout after bout, that wrestling belonged to women as much as men. Her journey didn’t just redefine perceptions, it paved the way for countless young girls who dreamed of a career in wrestling but hesitated under the weight of societal expectations. Sakshi Malik became a symbol of possibility, courage, and change.
The narrative then turns to her historic achievement as the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal, a moment that reshaped Indian sports history and inspired a generation. Yet, Dreamers does not shy away from the harder chapters. Rai sensitively explores Sakshi’s period of struggle, when losses, even to her juniors, tested her resolve and threatened to dim her fighting spirit.
What follows is a stirring account of resilience and comeback. Rising from adversity, Sakshi Malik reclaimed her place at the top with a gold medal victory at the Commonwealth Games 2022, reaffirming her legacy not just as a champion, but as a relentless fighter who refused to give up.
Speaking about the episode, Sudhanshu Rai said, “Sakshi Malik’s story is not just about medals, it’s about mindset. It’s about family belief, social change, failure, and the courage to rise again. Dreamers exists to tell such stories that remind us why dreams matter.”
The new episode of Dreamers: The Storytelling Series stands as a tribute to every young girl who dares to dream beyond limitations, and to a champion who showed them the way.

Oorjaa Introduces the Goldenrod Floor Lamp — A Luminous Ode to Nature

Oorjaa, celebrated for its commitment to conscious design and sustainable artistry, unveils its latest sculptural lighting piece — the Goldenrod Floor Lamp. True to the brand’s ethos of fusing craftsmanship, materiality, and emotion, this piece illuminates spaces with a soft, organic glow that captures the essence of mindful living.


Inspired by the delicate form of the goldenrod gall seed pod, the Goldenrod Floor Lamp extends gracefully from floor to ceiling, embodying fluidity and natural rhythm. Each curve of its form evokes the quiet elegance of nature’s patterns, while the warm amber light it radiates creates an enveloping sense of calm — perfect for winter evenings. Crafted entirely from crushed banana plant fibre paper, its texture mirrors the raw beauty of the natural world. Resting on a reclaimed wooden base, the lamp celebrates imperfections — the creases, veins, and grain — that tell a story of origin and earth. The sculptural silhouette, glowing from within, becomes both an art form and a source of gentle warmth, inviting a connection between nature and the human spirit.
The Goldenrod Floor Lamp transcends the idea of conventional lighting. Its grounding presence and poetic design make it an ideal addition to both residential and hospitality spaces. In homes, it finds harmony in living rooms, reading corners, or bedrooms, infusing each space with meditative warmth. Within boutique hotels, wellness retreats, or art-centric lobbies, it transforms atmospheres into sanctuaries of light and texture. Wherever it stands, the lamp adds a touch of organic sophistication — a sculptural statement that softly commands attention while nurturing stillness and reflection.
With the Goldenrod Floor Lamp, Oorjaa once again redefines illumination — not merely as light, but as a living expression of nature, craft, and quiet luxury.
About Oorjaa
Oorjaa is a Bangalore-based lighting design studio that reimagines the role of light through the lens of sustainability, craftsmanship, and material innovation.

Every Oorjaa creation tells a story of conscious design. Whether it’s a sculptural lamp for a private residence or a large-scale installation for public spaces like Bengaluru International Airport’s Terminal 2, the brand’s work blends tactile beauty with technical ingenuity. At its core, Oorjaa is about crafting with care for the future, giving form to light while honoring the cycles of the earth.
