Light, Shade & Sanctuary - A Note from Our Founder on NEST 2026
NEST returns inspired by the softness of summer - airy spaces, moving curtains, rooms that breathe, and the quiet feeling of sanctuary at home.

RWhen we first introduced NEST, I spoke about stillness. About the quiet corners of a home. About designing not just for the eye, but for the soul. That idea hasn't left me. If anything, it has deepened.
NEST returns with the same spirit — only stronger, intentional, present — but shaped by a different feeling; Summer! Summer is seen as a gift.

When Curtains Hold Light: Designing at the Threshold of Shade & Air
AThe particular relief of a room that breathes. A window left open. The slow sway of a curtain carrying something cool and faintly salt-edged from the sea.
The textiles here live at that threshold — between inside and outside, between shade and air. The vertical surface — the window, the door frame, the space between you and the world outside — has always been a quiet moderator of light and shade.
Stripes run clean and unhurried, like the geometry of tide lines. Curtains carry more of this story than ever before. his season, we've given it the attention it deserves.
Fabrics That Reward Touch: Embroidery, Weave & the Beauty of the Handmade
AColor as the the one thing that makes it precious. A thread of hearth orange — earthy, warm, unmistakably ours.
The colour of threshold markings, of sacred pigment, of the small rituals that sanctify an Indian home. It is a detail, not a statement. But it is the detail that anchors everything.
These are fabrics that reward touch. Embroidery appears as something older and more elemental, marks made slowly by hand.
Woven textures shift as light moves across them — dense in one moment, open in the next. That layer quietly. That hold shadow as beautifully as they hold light.

Artistic Interiors: The Smaller Things That Make a House Feel Like Sanctuary
AAlongside: textural cushions and layered throws. Breathable upholstery fabrics. Handwoven rugs that ground a room without weighing it down. And the smaller things — figurines, wall art, lighting — chosen with the same care, to complete a space and make it feel, finally, like sanctuary.
That's all NEST has ever been, really. A soft place to land. A home that knows how to breathe.
AOriental & Primitif Influences
AWhat distinguishes our retro update from a straightforward mid-century revival is that its influences aren’t borrowed, they’re native. Asiatic curves, graphic primitive motifs and the monumental quality of indigenous Indian forms aren’t exotic additions to a Western framework. They are India’s own design vocabulary, finally at home in a global design language.

They are India’s own design vocabulary, finally at home in a global design language.
The Mod Wika bed carries this most clearly, its oriental curves and darker finishes give it a drama that classic mid-century modern never quite reached. Hand-woven wicker flowing in silhouettes that feel both timeless and entirely contemporary. The Senhur series works the other register: graphic primitif motifs on sofa and armchair sides and coffee tables that carry a totemic quality elemental in silhouette, unmistakably original. These pieces don’t reference India obliquely. They speak it directly.
AMix of Materials
AThe furniture here lives in a world of deliberate material contrasts. The structural bones are dense Indian hardwoods, old seasoned teak and beautifully warm acacia feature most prominently. These hardwoods are prized for their visible grain, intense colour and the warmth they bring to a room. Against this, hand-woven wicker and rattan introduce lightness and craft texture. The interplay between the two solid wood and open weave is one of the style’s defining visual signatures.
Metal makes its appearance selectively: dark matte or warm brass finishes on legs and hardware that punctuate without dominating. Two materials in one piece create the characteristic tension of this retro update. The furniture is always visually interesting, never simply one thing.
