Current Edition
Dear Readers,
I would love to begin this issue with a quote by myself, “In an era where every object can be replicated, the only rarity left is the honest, untraceable story of its making. Conscience is the most exclusive material.”
For decades, luxury in design was defined by exclusivity, rarity, and price. Today, a new, more profound definition is emerging: The New Luxury is Conscience. In a world engineered for speed and efficiency, the human element, the deliberate pace of a hand-thrown pot, the visible stitch on a custom textile, the subtle imperfections of natural wood are becoming the ultimate expression of luxury. This issue is a quiet celebration of The Revival.
We are turning our attention to the artisans and the designers who are consciously slowing down the production process to reconnect us with the soul of the space. Every space tells a story of patience, skill, and heritage, transforming a house into a gallery of personal history. This issue celebrates the art of the intentional edit, the bold decision to move beyond a static design and embrace what your space can truly become.
The current culture of design often pushes us toward a prescribed perfection, the neutral palette, the 'must-have' chair, the perpetually tidy tableau. But the most meaningful homes are often those that refuse to be labeled. They are messy with memory, rich with layers, and built not on trends, but on time, travel, and personal conviction.
Inside, you'll find a special interview with John Löwbäck, Founder Swift Lifts as a well as Manoj Lohia, Director Merino Industries personally hosted by myself. Among the firms featured in the issue are Di Frenna Arquitectos, Basics Architects, Conarch Architects, Cadence Architects, Rajkumar Architect, VK Designs, Ashwin Architects, Rajkumar Architects, Studio Outline, Aeiforia Architects etc.
