Arjun Sawhney, the managing director of integrated PR agency The Communication Council and creative director of branding studio Green Goose Design, is a man elegantly weathered by a vast personal and professional life experience, the former driven by his passionate interest in philosophy and spirituality, and the latter constituted by earlier careers in banking and advertising.
His home, a perfectly proportioned extension of himself, is one that invites you to linger, not leap out of your skin. It does not hide under cover of dim lighting or behind mammoth objets d’art that deviously distract from architectural discrepancies. Like the man himself, it is not complicated, but complex: a product of profound sentiment, endless study, and precise calculation.
Born and raised in Kolkata, the cultural capital of India, Sawhney possesses a natural poise and polish, dexterously depicted in the decor of his home. Located within a dense residential colony of New Delhi, Sawhney’s four-bedroom apartment is a veritable sanctuary.
The visual odyssey begins in the lobby just outside the apartment, situated on the second floor, where one is greeted by an imposing front door painted a brilliant midnight blue, skilfully balancing the sombre green hues of an old Pichhwai hanging on the adjacent wall and a Bhutanese Thangka directly opposite. But it is across the threshold where the real magic begins—the interplay between light and space no less than masterful.
