The Black Orchid napkin ring was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture - strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail. The collection has an almost gothic feeling - opiated, lush, and smoldering - like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening.

The Pomegranate collection takes its inspiration from one of the most universal and ancient symbols in the world. The fruit has been prized across the globe, across cultures, and across time as a representation of life, rebirth, and renewal, as well as fertility and union. "I grew up around pomegranates—from their use as natural dyes on the antique rugs I used to crawl on as a baby to an integral ingredient in the food that I love. When I'm at my home in New Delhi, I wake each morning to the taste of freshly squeezed juice. The color, the smell, and the delicate flavor all make it feel like a magical elixir to me."

For me, it is like nature spreading through my interior spaces - like a magical olive grove sweetly willing its way into my home."

The Palm collection is inspired by the beauty of a windswept palm tree and the perfectly imperfect shapes of woven palm leaves and fallen fronds. The warm antique gold finish and the intricate sculpted textures exude comfortable luxury and graciousness. "I was having lunch with friends on a veranda overlooking the sea when I looked down to the lawn and saw a fallen palm frond. The leaves were all twisted and curled, yet they stood out magnificently against the otherwise perfect landscape. It made me think of the passage of time, and the bountiful gifts of the Palm, which provides everything from food to shelter."

The texture of hammer tone is an ancient surface treatment for metal that is achieved through the painstaking application of hammer marks, one by one, to shape the metal into various forms. The resulting surface texture is vibrant, faceted, and as contemporary as it is timeless.

There is such strength in their regimented and perfected shapes."
