1. Safomasi’s first hand woven collection

Perfect for winters, Woven Kawaii collection is a cosy range of cotton throws, cushions and fabrics in patterns inspired by the founders’ travels in Japan. We love how the textiles induce an air of nostalgia, thanks to the brand’s popular Peace Hands motif printed on it.

2. Re- by Medium

A series envisioned by Riddhi Jain for Medium, it is crafted from upcycled net, cotton and organza, and influenced by the Wabi Sabi philosophy. Just like the Japanese school of thought, it brings out pops of colour against its earthy background hue.

4. Zeenat by Atmosphere

This plush pile from Atmosphere is spangled with tiny metallic motifs, similar to lights decorating a house of celebration, or a starry night sky. We suggest you treat yourself with this glistening material in jewel tones for a decadent snooze.

5. D’Decor’s D’Clean

Smart and gorgeous, this range from D’decor is powered with a spill and stain proof patented technology that borrows from a lotus bloom’s innate qualities. The best part is that this self-cleaning fabric line comes with a special coating to make most liquids bead up and roll off its surface.

9. Hermes’ maiden Outdoor line

Designers Philippe Mouquet and Anamorphee envisioned the first collection of furnishings for luxury brand Hermes. Best suited for outdoor use, this range is light, water, chlorine and friction resistant. The interplay of daring graphic patterns on polyester caught our eye for being unabashedly bold.
