Crochet, curves and the coast

Meditative Materials

At first glance, the living room may seem deceptively simple but linger a moment, and its many layers reveal themselves. The sculptural green sectional anchors the space, angled just so to draw in the sea view beyond. Wrapped in a gentle boucle, it sits in quiet conversation with warm walnut surfaces that curve and fold around the room like a familiar refrain. There are no hard edges here. Every form — be it the hand-rounded coffee table, the softened shelving, or the sliding crochet panel that discreetly conceals technology — feels carefully chamfered, tactile, almost meditative. The palette remains calm and a shaded leaf-like artwork brings colour into the space. It’s a room attuned to coastal serenity, generational rhythms, and the Indian instinct for texture and tactility.

Composing the view

The view becomes a part of the architecture of the apartment. The sea is composed differently in each room. In the living area, the expanse unfolds in full frame — generous, cinematic. Here, sunlight floods in, reflecting off olive upholstery and warm woods. But walk further in, and you’ll notice a shift in rhythm. In the parents’ room, for instance, a carved-out perch by the window, just wide enough to sit with a book and the sea. In the grandparents’ room, the view is interrupted by the vibrant pink sofa. This layered approach to framing the outdoors brings a bit to the sea indoors without overwhelming the senses.
