Design is a paradox! Time and again timelessness, classic design elements and contemporary fare are seen hand-in-glove chiselling eclectic ambiences and understated impacting interiors. As we go through our fare this week, we are once again in awe of how simplicity in design can work equally strong aesthetics as perhaps one in which multiple styles have been stylishly hammed together! The airport lounge at Copenhagen oozes dynamism in its simple arrangement and ethos as does the health club by studio AMATAM. In the same vein, the minimalism of the Noe home with its dual entrances and the Courtyard House, both, evoke a sense of power of the built form itself. So there really isn’t any one facet that makes the mark; it’s a collective! Enjoy the issue and Wish you all a very Happy Diwali and a year full of joy, peace, wealth,wisdom and humility!
