Editor’s Note

Furniture fairs and design festivals have been proliferating around the globe, filling up calendars with an extensive list of potential business trips. But professionally, I feel, few of the fairs are worthwhile for investing time and resources as it is good to have the pulse of what’s going on in the world. We will surely give you a sneak peak into what’s hitting the trend market this year.

Sometimes I feel that creativity can flow out of any of us. Beyond classical painting and sculpture, different art mediums open up a host of possibilities. The feature on such talented artists (pg 95) reminds us that the best kind of art is the one that leaves an experience.

The powerful visual design style Art Deco is a universal style that combines classical craft motifs. If you are seeking to represent this style in your home, we give you few selections to get motivated (pg 80). To enhance the look of a space, right lighting selection plays a vital role. It can complete the statement of a house or improve a room’s decoration and give just the feeling you are looking for. The feature on these eye candies (pg 62) showcases numerous designs to choose from.

Recently, I met a friend who calls himself a “gourmet tourist”, which basically means a person who goes on foreign trips and samples local food to understand their culture. So, let’s take a food break. Check out the Food Fetish (pg 120) pages and surprise yourself with a global platter.

Lastly, as they say, love is in the air. So let’s spread love and pray for a loved and cherished life for one and all.
