Sources Unlimited Adds Totu Chaise-Longue by Fendi Casa

New Delhi, May 2026: Sources Unlimited, India’s premier destination for high-end furniture and interior design, introduces the Totu Chaise-Longue by Fendi Casa, designed by Toan Nguyen, a piece that approaches seating with a sense of quiet intention. Conceived to occupy a space without overwhelming it, Totu settles into the room with ease, offering both structure and softness in equal measure.

Set on a slender tubular metal base, the form appears lightly held, almost suspended. The frame, finished in a muted metallic tone, traces a clean outline that gives the piece its clarity. Against this, the upholstery shifts the experience entirely. Wrapped in a richly textured, deep teal fabric, the surface invites touch, its softness immediately apparent. The generous seat extends into a low, elongated profile, encouraging a more relaxed posture somewhere between sitting and reclining.

The backrest curves gently at one end, paired with a compact cushion that supports without interrupting the flow of the form. A larger accent cushion, rendered in a smoother, darker fabric with a subtle monogram pattern, introduces a quiet contrast. Together, these elements create a layered composition, where texture carries more weight than ornament. Totu is conceived as a place to pause. It lends itself to corners that invite conversation or moments of retreat, shaping an atmosphere that feels considered but never rigid. The balance between the metal base and the upholstered volume ensures that the piece remains grounded, even as its silhouette feels light.

Available at Sources Unlimited, the Totu Chaise-Longue reflects a design language that values proportion, material, and the subtle interplay between them – an object that holds its presence through restraint rather than excess.

MiRooh Cosmic Candy Collection with pastel unicorn-themed bedding and embroidered cushions for children's bedrooms.

Long before children learn to read stories, they learn to live inside them. MiRooh’s latest Cosmic Candy Collection brings that idea to life through playful bedding and soft furnishings designed to turn bedrooms into miniature dreamscapes.

Crafted in soothing pastel tones of blush pink, soft peach, ivory and muted aqua, the collection combines visual warmth with thoughtful detailing. Quilted bedding, embroidered cushions, ruffled borders and coordinated bolsters come together to create an environment that feels comforting, playful and inviting.

At the heart of the collection is a whimsical narrative designed to encourage imagination. Delicate illustrations of unicorns beneath rainbow arches, scattered stars, tiny crowns and dreamlike motifs appear across quilts, cushions and bed linen. The designs are playful without being overwhelming, allowing the room to feel calm while still capturing a child’s sense of wonder.

Made from soft, skin-friendly fabrics, each piece has been designed with comfort as carefully considered as aesthetics. Gentle textures, quilted surfaces and plush detailing create a cocoon-like setting that supports rest, play and quiet moments alike.

The Cosmic Candy collection reflects a growing shift towards thoughtfully designed children’s interiors, where furniture and furnishings contribute to a nurturing environment while maintaining a refined visual language that parents appreciate.

With this launch, MiRooh extends its design philosophy into the world of children’s spaces, creating pieces that are as memorable as they are functional. The result is a collection that celebrates childhood through craftsmanship, storytelling and comfort.

The Great Eastern Home Presents The Stallion

The Stallion handcrafted ceramic horse sculpture with oceanic blue glaze by The Great Eastern Home.

A Distinctive Ceramic Sculpture from its New Collection

The Great Eastern Home continues to celebrate timeless artistry and exceptional craftsmanship with The Stallion, one of the most distinctive pieces from its newly launched ceramic collection. Handmade by skilled artisans at The Great Eastern Home’s workshop and glazed in-house, this sculptural creation reflects the brand’s commitment to preserving artisanal heritage while continuously redefining contemporary design possibilities.

Inspired by the grace and power of the horse, The Stallion captures the animal in its most regal and dignified stance. The sculpture beautifully highlights the fluid transition from the curve of the neck into the sculpted head, before sharpening into a strong, commanding jawline. Every contour is carefully shaped to convey movement, strength, and elegance, resulting in a piece that feels both artistic and deeply expressive.

Its rich, oceanic glaze further elevates the sculpture’s character. Flowing between tones of indigo, verdigris, and midnight black, the finish catches light differently from every angle, creating remarkable depth and visual intrigue. The constantly shifting tones lend the piece an almost living presence, making it a striking focal point within any interior setting.

Entirely handcrafted, no two pieces of The Stallion are ever identical, making each sculpture truly one of a kind. More than a decorative object, it stands as a collectible work of art that embodies craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless sophistication.

Sound to Silhouette: A History of Mutual Influence

Published

Jiya Jaitly

Fashion and music have never existed as isolated cultural forms; they are parallel languages of identity. One clothes the body while the other clothes the atmosphere, emotion, and ideology. A musical movement without a recognisable visual code rarely survives beyond sound. Their interrelation rests in a shared capacity to signal rebellion, status, class mobility, seduction, politics, spirituality, and generational dissent without explicit explanation. This confluence explains why every significant cultural movement inevitably develops a distinct silhouette, colour palette, grooming code, and behavioural aesthetic.

Fashion and music influencing culture and style

The earliest traceable entanglement between fashion and music reaches back to ancient civilisations.

· In Egypt, court musicians wore garments that signified sacred or elite status, while dancers and performers used adornment to amplify theatrical presence.

· In Greece, musical performances during religious festivals unfolded alongside carefully structured drapery and ornamentation that reflected philosophical ideals of harmony and proportion.

· In early India, classical musical traditions and courtly attire evolved in tandem: ragas, dance, jewellery, textiles, and performance aesthetics formed an integrated cultural expression rather than discrete disciplines.

In medieval and Renaissance Europe, music and fashion functioned as instruments of aristocratic distinction. Court musicians did not merely perform; they embodied prestige through embroidered fabrics, powdered wigs, structured tailoring, and elaborate ornament. Opera later refined this fusion, transforming costume into emotional architecture and using fabric, silhouette, and visual symbolism to externalize psychological and social tensions long before cinema emerged. The jazz age carried fluid tailoring and liberated femininity; punk arrived ripped, confrontational, and anti-establishment; hip-hop transformed streetwear into global luxury language; grunge made deliberate dishevelment an aesthetic weapon against polished consumerism.

The postwar decades accelerated this fusion into a cultural machine. Rock and roll in the 1950s weaponized youth style against the conservative social order: leather jackets, slicked hair, and slim silhouettes became emblems of defiance. The 1960s fractured into competing aesthetic ideologies: psychedelic maximalism, mod minimalism, and bohemian romanticism, each carrying its own musical identity. By the 1970s, glam rock turned gender presentation into a theatrical experiment, while punk repudiated luxury with torn fabrics, safety pins, and anti-fashion rhetoric; ironically, the industry eventually commodified even that rebellion.

Hip-hop’s emergence in the late twentieth century fundamentally altered the power dynamic between fashion and music. Where earlier eras often saw fashion houses shaping performers, hip-hop reversed the vector: street culture began dictating luxury. Sneakers, oversized tailoring, gold jewellery, and sportswear migrated from expressions of survival and neighbourhood identity to symbols of global aspiration.

This phenomenon was strikingly visible with the rise of The Beatles. Before them, mainstream male fashion remained restrained, conservative, and tethered to postwar uniformity. The Beatles introduced something deceptively simple yet revolutionary: youth styling as mass identity. Their slim-cut suits, Chelsea boots, and mop-top haircuts, then later, psychedelic experimentation reoriented a generation’s look. Early Beatles fashion projected polished accessibility; their later phase embraced flamboyant military jackets, Indian-inspired garments, tinted glasses, and bohemian layering.

Soon after, David Bowie dissolved the notion of a fixed identity through glam rock. His Ziggy Stardust persona fused theatrical makeup, metallic fabrics, platform boots, asymmetrical silhouettes, and androgynous styling into a cultural detonation. He unsettled rigid constructs of masculinity long before mainstream discourse possessed the vocabulary to discuss gender fluidity. Elvis Presley’s influence is equally central: in the 1950s, he translated rebellious sensuality into a visual lexicon: high collars, slicked hair, dramatic tailoring, jewellery, and overt physical charisma laid the blueprint for the modern pop star. Kiss Band converted face paint and exaggerated stage costumes into a commercial spectacle, anticipating branding strategies that would later be amplified by influencers. Meanwhile, Black Sabbath helped anchor darker visual codes that matured into gothic and metal aesthetics.

The 1980s produced perhaps the most complete fusion of fashion and musical mythology in Michael Jackson. He wielded visual symbolism with near-military precision: the single white glove, military-inspired jackets, loafers with cropped trousers, aviators, sequined stagewear, and sharply structured performance garments became instantly recognizable emblems.

Madonna treated fashion as a machinery of reinvention. Lace gloves, corsetry, crucifixes, lingerie-as-outerwear, platinum hair, and mutable personae repeatedly destabilized expectations around femininity and sexuality. Artists such as Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and later Kanye West translated streetwear into a language of luxury oversized silhouettes, sneakers, sports jerseys, chains, varsity aesthetics, and designer collaborations rose from urban identity and economic aspiration. More recently, Harry Styles has mainstreamed softer, gender-fluid menswear for younger audiences, signalling another shift in how pop figures mediate sartorial norms.

These two have been connected to each other since the creation of both, as they work as Yin-Yang of art form, and they will keep evolving together and shaping our society, as Art is a place where humans find resonance.
