Livingetc India Magazine - October 2025

In this issue

Through the language of light, we find warmth, joy, and the essence of our October Issue – celebrating illumination as both muse and medium, and its power to transform spaces and moods alike. In Trending, fantastical fixtures, sculptural sconces, and statement pendants take centre stage, while 5 leading designers share how to layer light with intent. We also spotlight Obeetee and Varun Rana’s new collection, The Vernacular Modern’s collectible heirlooms, The Pantone Collective’s hospitality space Buen, Studio GSA’s store Amuse Bouche, and Sonam Gala Gosalia’s most treasured artwork. In Decoration, dining rooms come alive with 3 fresh looks to make your own, along with an edit of sleek tables, chairs, elegant credenzas, and polished flooring setting the scene for togetherness. In Homes, A Square Designs, Sona Reddy Studio, Aasa Concepts, and Aashni Kumar craft spaces that glow with artistry, while Alara Studio’s creative journey and Sridhar Poddar’s ventures, Evoke London and Kaash, reflect design driven by passion and purpose. New openings – from Rahul Mishra’s Mumbai flagship to Freedom Tree’s Bengaluru store – spark the season’s spirit of shopping and gifting, while a journey through Bhutan’s scenic vista and cultural spirit close the issue with a quiet, luminous grace. May these pages uplift you and ignite all the inspiration you need for bright times ahead.
