#TrendAlert Two shots of chutzpah. A scoop of boldness. A smidgen of kitsch. Here is a recipe to brew your style frappuccino. The perfect companion for you to flip through our ode to Gaetano Pesce. Post-modern and provocative, his oeuvre pushes you to chart untrodden territories. But beware of the bewitching after-effects of this maximalist home decor trend for 2024.

A chikoo rendezvous. Strawberry soft serve with a side of greens. Gay abandon takes over this apartment in Mumbai by Zero9 and offers a generous helping of the “gorgeous granita”. Curiously dubbed unGREY, sober shades harmonise with the saccharine while curves share pride of place with straight lines. Murmurs of Mid-century Modern geometry. A pinch of retro panache.

It is about the human being; we are all different.” And so are the 400 resin chairs and the sculptural walkway that serve a scoopful of “gorgeous granita”; Photograph by Matteo Canestraro
