Wanderlust; it makes us go places. However, what happens when you return home? A slice of inspiration finds its way back home. You may choose to paint all your walls a brilliant white, like in Greece, or create a room divider using colourful pottery from Bali placed next to lights that take cues from a mosque in Istanbul. You may even bring in Jaipur's marble inlay and juxtapose it with a Sweden meets Japan, Japandi style fabrics. In short, if you want to showcase a life well lived while breathing life into your living space, an eclectic mix of accessories from different centuries and contexts will do the trick.
But what if we told you that you don't need to travel to far-flung places to bring home timeless tales. Today, decor pieces inspired by fantastic journeys that would make Paulo Coelho ponder, trace paths less travelled and revel in global architecture and design, have become the norm. We round up some of the most amazing pieces made in India.
CRAFTING A NEW RELIC
Explore spiritual aspects of travel with a series of sculptural art-like lights, Totems Over Time by Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth of Klove Studio. "It's an offshoot of a cross cultural osmosis, ingrained in time travel through beliefs and civilisations," explains Jain. Crafted from glass and metal, they take their cues from Mayan, Aztec, Inca, African and Indian tribal regions.
