The Design Issue

July 2024

It’s said that every great design begins with a great story, and this month, we take you through many sensorial tales in our special Design issue. So, let’s take flight as we discover, experience, taste, and savour a universe of imaginative creations around India and the world!

Begin your artistic journey by heading to the ‘Mural Capital of the World’—Philadelphia! The city’s inspiring street art, sculptures, and magical mosaic gardens reflect its community-driven artistic ethos. Next, head to the other side of the Atlantic to explore the design-forward charms of London. From Italian-Renaissance art at the Victoria and Albert Museum to antique shopping at Portobello Road Market and Indian- and French-aesthetic inspired eateries—there’s literally something for everyone here!

Closer home, we continue our artistic adventures in beguiling Bhopal and learn about its illustrious begums and their influence on the architecture, culture, and cuisine of this city. And don’t miss our round-up of Mumbai’s lip-smacking cuisine that’s sure to make your mouth water!

Next up, legendary actress and powerhouse performer Tabu talks to us about her home, creative inspirations, and travel diaries, while celebrated fashion designer Anita Dongre shares her love for classic Indian textiles and conscious living. Bring your A-game when it comes to airport looks with our outfit suggestions, as well as our picks of iconic accessories from the world’s most luxe brands. Be blown away by our collection of the latest innovative products making a buzz, striking table centrepieces selections, and valuable tips and tricks to help you transform your spaces into works of art!
