Textures rule Beijing’s theme restaurant | From less to luxe – home décor ideas | Bvlgari’s newest style statement| and more

Dear Reader,

Aesthetics are an important part of design. In fact, something I came across recently very aptly stated, “surfaces are the soul of an interior”. True that. Especially as exemplified in our cover story this week. The designer, Wei Wu specialises in hospitality design, He not only takes inspiration from nature but goes the complete haul to recreate textural magic using on-site materials and hand finishes for the bespoke touch. Rocks, forests, coastlines… come alive in the design and décor of this restaurant in Beijing. Do read the story.

The other three homes that fill our issue are diametrically different – whilst the Mumbai home by the sea is serene, minimalist, and quite literally connects with the sea; the Kolkata home by Ajay Arya is a lavish, uber luxurious abode. The home annexe in Germany – floating connection – as the designers wish to call it, is a clever connection with nature as its glass walls provide the homeowners with the flexibility of opening the space as a large extension of the main house or wrapping it up in curtains to create an individualistic private abode. Either way, this ingenious construction excels at its functional contribution.

And for all the lady connoisseurs of watches, we bring you the collaboration of two strong unconventional brands – MB&F and Bvlgari. Do check out the Product Section for the latest here.

Have a super week ahead!

Warm regards,
