This issue of Home&Design; Trends is extra-special… revisiting the thought processes of our lockdown cover stars, we kickstart this one with the dynamic duo of Humming Tree (@humming_tree) - Mohammed Afnan (@afnan_hummingtree) and Arun Shekar Gowda, (@arunshekargowda) who contrary to convention, are sharing their story on responsible contextual design. Delving deep into what sets their practice apart, we see a diverse range of work with a spectacular use of colours, ranging from monochromes to bright pops, showcasing their own vibrant personalities through their designs.
