“The inspiration for this
collection is drawn from my childhood home – it is
a lasting tribute to my parents. I have picked only a few
images and memories from that endless source of strength
and beauty to design these pieces.”
A businessman father of utmost integrity and an artist
mother formed this home where four of us siblings were raised
with endless source of love and encouragement. Here beauty
was found in the early morning dew drops, as a five year
old doing stretching exercises barefooted with my father,
or all of us lying under the cool summer midnight skies
figuring out the star formation. The memory of us siblings
bathing endlessly in monsoon rain is still so vivid!
This home was surrounded by trees of all kinds of fruits
and blooms. The rattan rope swings were tied on the tall
mahogany trees where hand made slats of wood formed the
seats.
My mother’s love of lozenges was predominant in her
designed window grills or her aesthetic sense in the novel
placement of pastel marble stones that she inlaid on her
fireplace. My father’s love of roses was evident year
in and year out when he planted the most gorgeous of roses
ranging from faintest of apricots, soft peaches to the lush
maroons.

parents continue to live in this home
with beautiful hearts.
