Life comes a full circle.



Last year, around the same time, we were
bidding an emotional adieu to our Editor,
Ronitaa Italia. And now, it gives us great
pleasure, to welcome her back as our Editor-
in-Chief. Just as the magazine steps into a
new decade.


Serendipity, I guess.


Moving on to this issue, our 11th anniversary
VSHFLDO /X[XU\ KDV GLɣHUHQW FRQQRWDWLRQV
– to some, it’s the label, and the legacy that
comes with it, for some others, its exclusivity
that matters the most. This issue is all
about celebrating luxury, and its various
connotations.

We also reveal the winners of the GoodHomes
Awards, the young architects and designers SHOPPING

Jai Khanna

REDEFINING TRADITION






Reviving the traditional artform of Pichwais

FEATURE SEEMA SREEDHARAN






I n his recent exhibiton titled









Srinathji Swaroopam,
artist Jai Khanna gave a
contemporary revival to the ancient

art of Pichwais. While the art
form is traditional, the language
—whether it’s the motifs or the
colour palette — is undeniably
contemporary.
Showcasing 30 contemporary
works on silk and paper, for the
first time, this traditional form

of art has been redefined within
an urban milieu, their simplistic
narrative reinforced with his
personal vision.
“My fascination with Pichwais
began when I was a child, in third
standard if I’m not mistaken,”

reminisces the artist. “I didn’t know
about Pichwais back then. When I
was asked to draw, I drew a sketch
of Lord Krishna, without knowing
anything about him. I think it was
providence. The fascination, or
rather obsession never faded.”



I have looked at every

traditional piece through a
modern lens to make them
attractive to the young. I

understand there may be
people who may not relate

to traditional forms of art, so e a roac was to rin an a so ute new
so I’ve made my pichhwais version o ic wais e su ects are tra itiona ut t e

Genius

IN A NUTSHELL


















While he remains true to the
iconographical representation,
Jai infuses the art form with
contemporary imagery, hitherto

unseen. “Most of my pichwais
are actually inspired by my
dreams,” says Jai revealing the
deep spirituality that he associates
with the process. The subjects are
traditional but the way they are
approached and conceptualised

is absolutely personal and unique.
The artist fuses the traditional with
the modern, for instance, he merges
the traditional patterns of verdant
forests with newer motifs inspired
by the havelis of Nathdwara, to
create his own signature style of
Pichwais. “I have looked at every

traditional piece through a modern
MY FASCINATION WITH PICHWAIS lens to make them attractive to

BEGAN WHEN I WAS A CHILD, IN THIRD the young. I understand there may
be people who may not relate to
STANDARD IF I’M NOT MISTAKEN. old styles of art. So I’ve made my
pichwais using a new vocabulary in
form and colours.”






ABOUT PICHWAIS

The word Pichwai has its roots
in Sanskrit: pich or ‘behind’,
vai or ‘textile hanging.’ A
traditional art form practiced

in Nathdwara, Rajasthan,
the Pichwai is an intricate
painting that depicts theatrical
scenes from Lord Krishna’s
life, typically hung behind
the sanctum of his own

manifestation, Shrinathji. These
elaborate textile hangings
celebrate joyous adoration
for Lord Krishna, and were
originally designed to create a
devotional atmosphere for the
daily ‘shringaar’ — the special
adornment of the deity.

you light the space."

























































The thing to remember always is to consistently keep with one style or then

be totally eclectic — use variants only with complete conviction about the

look you are trying to achieve.




Interesting corners or a window seats, nooks
by the wall for the dining table and chairs add to
the sense of informal cosiness. The dimensions
would of course be dictated by the size of the room.
The trick is to create a multi-functional
space, a family room to ‘hang out’, a private place
to meditate and relax, a music room, the card
room, playroom and leisure activities. The entire

family, including pets, could stake a claim and
feel comfortable. A place that should reflect the
personality of your family informally. Comfort and
practical considerations came first. * IMAGES COURTESY: ARCHIVBES OF GOODHOMES MAGAZINE

DESIGN
Within by Sonal & BobbJ Tulli
“The essence of luxury is in
originality, timelessness, craft
and fine details. It is not about
what you do but how you do
it,” says BobbJ Tulli. And this is
exactly what Within is all about.
Within applies itself to creating
bespoke interiors, from bare
walls down to the last accessory
with intricate detailing. The brand
conscientiously works with new
materials and techniques to
develop a visual language that is
a solid statement of opulence,
finesse and beauty. “5IF focus
in luxury is shifting from things
towards experiences. It is not
just that thing we buy, we look
forward to the experience that
comes along with it.”

BAARIQUE BRINGS AN AMALGAMATION OF
UNEXPLORED TRADITION, RAW BEAUTY AND
LUXURY. THE BRAND STANDS FOR FUNCTIONAL

ART AND WELL-BEING. TRADITIONAL
REVIVAL

Baarique by Surkhi Matharu
and Mallika Buddhiraj

Handcrafted in kansa, copper
and brass, table and serveware
by Baarique is a perfect blend
of contemporary aesthetic and
ancient wisdom. Each piece
by Baarique is not just hand
painted and one of its kind
but also has a story behind
it. The best part about these
handcrafted treasures is that
every piece is unique. The
variation of texture on the
metal because of change in
temperature, the slight change
in the size and the uneven
diameters—all this really adds
to the charm of the product.
Even the artwork will never
really be the same.

“Over the last 10 years, the
concept of luxury has moved
away from established brands
and more toward bespoke
items. The luxury consumer is
less interested in “collecting
things” and is instead looking to
own pieces which are unique,”
explains Ambrita Shahani-
Tuckwell. A case in point is The
Pressed Flower collection, a
collaboration between Ambrita
and Rooshad, where they
incorporated flowers from the
clients wedding. “It meant that
we could preserve this unique
aspect from their special day.”
says Ambrita. And really, that is
what luxury is all about. Being
able to own something that is
unique to you.

SIMPLE PLEASURES

P.O.D, by Nishita Kamdar and Veeram Shah

Founded by Architect Nishita Kamdar and
Architect Veeram Shah, P.O.D is an artisan
based design studio exploring a seamless
transition between art and functional objects
with a conscious attempt to promote locally
made products with a keen focus on details and
craftsmanship. “What we design is not merely
to please the eye but to evoke an emotion, a
response to the shapes, materials, textures and
colours,” says Nishita. Both Nishita and Veeram
believe that today, material, craftsmanship, origin,
authenticity of a product takes precedence over
its price tag or label.

In the popular age of minimal decor, comes this black
and white trend, heavily influenced by the Nordic
construction. A play with rough edges and fine lines
gives rise to this simple approach. Make this style your

create a subdued pop in this monochrome setting.
