I believe that design is in the relationship between an object and the people who interact with it. This is a very individual experience and the result is value. For me, it is giving this `value’ to our customer, not only for what the product is, but for what it stands for- simplicity, honesty. Our ambition is to bridge the gap between lifestyle and design and to bring you fresh and unique products above all- serious, clean and uniquely aesthetic designs.

03 : Austin Six Seater Dining Table launched by “Hometown”. The rectangular designer table models are most popular in the dining room for a long time. They are most practical and enroll in any any ambiance. Many new close models are currently on the market. Long rectangular tables write perfectly in many small facilities. Thus, they are also a very current and modern choice. Attaching a designer table next to a bench provides a particularly ergonomic solution. Depending on, how formally is an occasion, several people can sit on the bench.

08 : The Woodrow series furniture is a perfect amalgamation of contemporary and modern style. Featuring striking glossy elements with a classic wood grain effect, these exquisite pieces add a fresh twist of luxury to any Indian home.

This stylish, yet sophisticated bedroom series is crafted and constructed out of 100% natural Sheesham (Indian Rosewood). Specialized design features like the 3D “Chocolate” effect used on the headboard and footboard, not only add to the aesthetic appeal of the product but also add ergonomic benefits. The aptly constructed specifications of the headboard prove to be extremely comfortable and relaxing back rests while also providing perfect posture settings for leisure activities.

While the balance between design and structure appeals to sections across the society, the bed fits perfectly into the modern day metropolitan homes. The design allows for extensive space utilization through specialized storage features including strategically designed box storage systems.

12 : Process | Recycled tissues are use in pursuit of creating paper Mache which is further cast over the cylindrical contour of the fire extinguisher. On drying, the structure is painted to suit the visual aesthesis whilst playing hide and seek with the nature of light emitted. Product USP | The specialty of this lamp is that the light coming out remains focused at a point an d hence the lamp can very well be used for task lighting.

13. The lamp is essentially an emblem of contemporary Indian design. The lamp is inspired by the beautiful form of India’s national flower-the lotus which gives it a distinguished native aesthetic besides accentuating the visual flow. The color of the lamp is intentionally maintained as white, which stands for purity. Furthermore, by puncturing the shell of the lamp with Hindu motifs, greater interest is generated, setting it apart as a unique curio.

14 : The dining set is a perfect addition to sleek, contemporary dining rooms that exude sophistication and elegance. Available in Aluminum plus wood combination, the chair adds a hint of visual contrast to modern homes dominated by clean and well-defined lines. The curve line in the back is another cool visual element that draws your attention, and you can always easily move one of these chairs from the dining room to the bedroom office to quickly fashion a home office look.

15 : A solid wood with stone top is the perfect complement to this table’s reclaimed-wood base. Color and textural variations create a relaxed feel that is enhanced by a hand-applied gray wash on the wood. Also with fabric cushions .
