“The characteristic attributes of Indian products have been fascinating the world for a long time and the adaptability of manufacturers in India to change and ability to deliver brings in more and more buyers for unique and innovative products,” comment the organisers.
Inspired by the past and moving into the future, a mix of vintage and ethnic elements is offered by exhibitors alongside contemporary collections ranging from rustic table top knick knacks and decoratives, space saving multi-utility line-ups with the latticed crafts of Indian desert states to hand carved artefacts from the northern plains, elegant glass shaped into interesting expressions and metal craft in enticing compositions from Central India to handmade artisan crafts from many regions of India.
Botanical motifs proliferate amidst rich saturated tones complimenting greens and blues playing off each other against neutral accents in textile based decoratives. The green living trend can be indulged with an array of planters, containers, statement urns, etc. made in a variety of materials and mixed mediums.
Lighting décor embraces many trends from baroque to chic, from simple lines to extravagance. Statement pieces include elegant beaded crystal chandeliers with stylish details alongside those with pastoral finish and wall lights, scones, pendant lamps and tables.
