New furniture line by Studio Klove

The Diwali makeover bug has bit me. Revamp is what I wanna do, to everything at home — new wall colour, new lights, a new me!

Word’s out that Studio Klove has a new furniture line. Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth are only three years old in the business but are already a hit on the Indian and international art and design circuit. Their chic and futuristic light designs (think brightly coloured glass blown into exquisite shapes), had been the rage last year, so I decided to check if their new foray into furniture — “a natural progression”, they claim — was as bold and innovative.

When I walked into their gorgeous revamped studio — designed like a lived-in space, a home-cum-store of sorts — I was blown away. Everything was stunning. The Retro Sofa, with stripes alternating in orange, cloudy grey and charcoal. The large, creamy Sand Dune Chairs, with a ripple effect texture and shiny black lacquer armrests. The Rainforest Sofa that has fabric quilted to appear like wood patterns. The ruby red Rossette Bench that unfurls with profusely 3D roses, so very French boudoir. And my favourite — the Zardozi Bench that has alternating stripes of delish colours like fuchsia and yellow with zardozi and sequin embroidery!

The best thing about these pieces is the ergonomics — they’re large enough to hug you from all sides, but the armrest is never too far; they’re soft enough to sink into, but never too deep to swallow you! And the display couples the furniture with their funky new range of light designs (especially loved the floor light fashioned like a telescope, shedding pools of light at both ends) and great rugs and floor cushions.

I’m warming my house next week, and you are invited!
