Masterful Craftsmanship
In the summer of 2021, when the world was in the throes of the pandemic, looking for every sign of hope, courage and resilience, a colossal project was underway in the bustling carpet city of Bhadohi at the Patodia Exports production facility, the parent company of luxury carpet brand Hands. Manufacturing of the world’s largest handmade carpet had been commissioned for The Grand Mosque of Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, the largest mosque in Central Asia. Covering an area of 12,000 m², with a medallion of 70 meters in diameter, the world’s largest handmade carpet stands as one of the rarest feats in the history of art. Made from 80 tonnes of 100% New Zealand wool spun and dyed to perfection, the design is an extension of two things: one, the circle with 8 axes that forms the centrepiece of the main courtyard; and two, the mosque gardens that draw design inspiration from Jannat-ul-Firdaus. Today, as the carpet lies in its permanent abode, The Grand Mosque of Nur-Sultan, it tells a compelling tale of hands that have honoured time and tradition.
Biophilic Collection
The Eris Home by Sanjana Lunia’s ensemble of cushions is inspired by nature’s flora and fauna abundance. Biophilia has become a muse for this edit where vibrant blooms, a tropical jungle amidst chirps of Aves and roaring felines give a heart-warming welcome to an exuberant summer. A surreal visual of beauteous cranes frolicking nonchalantly in serenity is the Dreamy Cranes cushions in lustrous satin, standing poignant in verdant green and midnight blue. The posy of pristine blossoms picturesque against a deep blue backdrop spell romance in the Florid cushions, creatively crafted from blended woven jacquard cotton to render an insouciant chic element to a room. A tropical paradise, The Safari collection is synonymous with the exotic retreat with animal prints that carry the association with the fauna with aplomb. The Prowl cushion cover crafted from slub chenille, in tranquil teal blue and resplendent magenta pays homage to the majestic large cats. Offering a visual story of a regal feline in forage amidst rich foliage, the Hunt cotton cushion cover, rich in sea green and elegant lavender transports you to the magnetic moment. The plush velvet of The Tigress cushion cover in vinous wine and cerulean blue hues with abstract tiger print can be a cynosure for all eyes in any space.
