FROM THE EDITOR

Our goal.... Sustainability! The year 2019 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for sustainability, with both consumer and corporates taking center stage. Not just product-wise, but architects and designers are taking pains to make great-looking buildings and homes environment-friendly. There is no second thought on sustainability adding more value, to a building’s local environment and to the lives of its occupants. Team TIHG travelled to major fairs across the globe and found that designers and brands are taking this concept very seriously, by either using material that are eco-friendly or giving second life to already existing material. While doing our research on top sustainable brands (to be featured in April Edition), we realised that sustainable products are now very stylish as well as functionally innovative. The design approach of the brands have changed substantially; with huge experimentation on colours and prints. I loved the pet-friendly brand LABONI (Pgxx) that is meant for design lovers, yet the materials used to make the products are all-100 per cent natural.

This is a design-inspired edition that has everything from Scandinavian decor to boho-chic and minimal magic to colourful spaces. We have also tried to update you with decor-filled pages focused on different regions of India. The story on makeovers will change the idea of ‘less is more’ and ‘more is more’ in your living spaces. Last but not the least, we would like to encourage all our readers to help save and protect the environment and also to promote Make In India products!
