ART AND ANTIQUITY

Kavya Sheth of Studio Ruh articulates a bespoke home for a craft connoisseur and curator

- KAVYA SHETH

Vaya sheers and blackout curtains procured from Home Stories and stitched by Blindlove, bedeck this living room. Escape by Creatomy side tables sit adjacent to the antique lion sculpture and an armchair by The Purple Turtles with a plant from Beruru

The Purple Turtles has sourced many statement pieces such as the cushy throws, the armchair, the side table and the sculptures. Its sub-brands Create Your Couch and Portside Café are instrumental for the sofa and centre tables, respectively. Floral decor from Ohana Fine Flowers and the hand-painted Balinese Lotus Leaves by a Vietnamese artist add colour and vigour to the living area. A resplendent rug from Jaipur Rugs underlines this space that is virtually styled by Samir Wadekar

FROM TOP The Purple Turtles sourced the live-edge dining table from Puducherry. An organic-silhouette asymmetric chandelier is from Oorja at The Purple Turtles while the sink is hand chiselled from a stone slab. Kelachandra Veneer Industries have executed the kitchen; Monkey sculptures on the floor and on the pedestal add life to the dining alcove as does the colourful runner on the floor—all by The Purple Turtles. The succulent is by Beruru while framed artwork on the walls are prints of attires from South-east Asia that Radeesh found on his travels
