#TrendAlert Come home, caveman: Recoil into an abyss, embrace primal instincts and reflect back to the abodes of our ancestors. As urban walls close upon us, the call to revert back to savage ways only grows louder. Come home to a cavernous retreat in earthy hues and tactile finishes.

Interpretation and emotions. Materials and techniques. An unexpected connection surfaces at Faye Toogood’s Mirror Mirror: Reflections on Design at Chatsworth where the architecture enwraps itself in the interiors and the string of materials like glass, stone, wood and well, plenty of daylight. The poised nature of materiality and sculptural scales seen here almost feel spiritual, indicating an interdependence on the self and our surroundings; Photograph by Genevieve LutkinIn this contemporary interpretation of ancestral caves, we found a celebration of form and function and an irresistible connection with primal days. Designer Faye Toogood’s Standing Stones part of Mirror Mirror: Reflections on Design at Chatsworth installation observes the raw elegance of exposed rock flooring, sculptural walls and tall marble plinths within meditative abodes. The past collides with the future and we can hear the loud call of the Caveman; Photograph by Genevieve Lutkin1. “SILENT ECHOES” WOOL, SILK AND TENCEL RUG by Jaipur Rugs, `2,10,560 2. “STONEHENGE” HAND-STAINED LEATHER CONSOLE part of Heavy Too collection by Atelier Bobby Aggarwal 3. “MYSTIC TABLE I” MATTE BRASS TABLE part of Unrealism collection by Scarlet Splendour 4. “LITHIC’’ MOSAICO PESTA SHELVING UNIT by Wriver 5. “SEGOVIA” STEEL AND GLASS CONSOLE by Nitush – Aroosh 6. “BROKEN MIRROR” designed by Snarkitecture for Gufram in collaboration with Gallery All, all prices on request
