Dear IAnDian,

Our mailboxes seem to be suddenly flooded with a lot of hospitality projects. Different thematics, varying décor elements... each creating an aura so distinctive that it can hold its customer on the aesthetics quotient; the rest of course is the mandate of the cuisine and the chef! Yet, each is bound by the most common element - the emotional connect.

Speaking of the interiors, much thought goes into detailing and this is evident in all our stories this week. Our cover story, Toy Room, stands up to its international counterparts - thanks to Chromed Design Studio for crafting some eclectic imagery. It is commendable how sophistication has been equalised with inuendo - with a flair that all at once says - "I care, whilst you may sport a devil-may-care attitude!!" An appealingly superb use of the Teddy Bear mascot as it takes on the onus of the design and the decor - especially in the way the graphics have been conceived. Do check it out.

Our rendezvous with more hospitality projects will continue into the coming week. So, stay tuned...

Warm regards,
Savitha Hira

When passion drives design| The stage as the storyteller| Crafting experiences for the style-conscious| and more

Dear IAnDian,

Sometimes a little soul-searching goes a long way. We bring you two very strong designs this week – one from Ukraine (the cover story) and the other from Latvia. Both stories underline the premise that when design is fervently driven by passion, the outcome is simply fabulous!

To commemorate 100 years of Latvia with a multi-media dance performance, Didzis Jaunzems Architecture has worked in tandem with a video artist to design a stage that accommodates artistes against backdrops of shifting video projections – suited to both, large groups as well as solo performers. The strength of the design lies in its built form – as it alludes to the Latvian flag and several technologically-driven polygonal surfaces. Do check out these breath-taking tableaus.

Our cover story stems straight from the heart where our chef Fujiwara Yoshi – Japanese at heart and Ukranian by livelihood, joins hands with Sergey Makhno Architects to craft an eponymous restaurant representing exactly the sentiment – Japanese culture flirting with a charming Ukrainian soul. The large space is beautifully demarcated into different zones, ensuring diner comfort and variety without digressing from its locus-foci.

Warm regards,

Editorial

Dear IAnDian,

Look around you and you will notice an increasing awareness of a diligent use of resources world over. There seems a rise in the responsibility of 'informed' built forms. Our stories this week reinstate the premise: whether it's a sociological need that the built form fulfils as much as it does the emotional need, as Ar. Romil Sheth of Sasaki Design talks about the ideal educational campus of the future; or as architecture office cepezed unravels the design of the first self-sufficient - a fully-integrated bus station in Tilburg, The Netherlands that generates its own energy. Can this module toe a global footprint?

And closer to home is our cover story, where sustainability is the fulcrum of the design of this luxury resort in West Bengal. A story that reinstates the human-nature connect that the race for all things mechanical and technological is paring out for our eyes to see and our soul to acknowledge.

Enjoy the read!

Dear IAnDian,

The effect is cumulative. Several factors drive it. Its essence is layered. That's sweet success in its complete sense - creative and economic. So, the next question is - what are these layers? These success-driving factors? Where does one get them? And, how do they impact? That's exactly what our video series "in Candid Conversation with" showcases.

Actions, occurrences, emotions, journeys that trace these influencing factors; reminisces that help introspect, awaken and impact. We have just wrapped up Season 1 of our video series featuring 'super achievers'. Their professional fronts are there for the world to see; but this series has brought them closer to you as they've opened up not just their homes, but their hearts, getting candid about personal details in front of the camera... just for you - the IAnDians.

A big 'thank you' to all our guests, who participated, and our patrons for making this series a big success.

With this issue, we also take a short break and shall be back in a fortnight with new stories, new ideas and lots, lots more. Stay tuned.

Enjoy the issue.

Warm regards,
Savitha Hira

We all aspire for the luxury life. We all aspire to visit new places and experience new experiences.

Kelly perceives little details in a picturesque way and that's something that contributes to her picture-perfect styling.

With the onset of a new volume, IndiaArtnDesign enters another new phase bringing you the best of interiors and architecture every day.
