This is certainly the case with designer Sarita Handa's latest Spring-Summer 2025 collection, made in collaboration with Gallery Art Positive and curated by art connoisseur Anu Bajaj, the founder of the gallery. The collection brings together luxurious home furnishings and collectible art.

"With three distinct lines called 'Wild Spring', 'Come Away With Me', and 'In the Mood for Summer', the collection narrates a visual story of Indian craft and seasonal beauty. One can admire the beauty of pastel Kantha quilting, Ari embroidery, and botanical motifs in cotton and linen," says Handa. The selection is a reflection of the label's dedication to detail, comfort, and emphasis on slow design.

Along with Handa's textiles, contemporary artworks are also being presented by Gallery Art Positive. These include sculptural, photographic, and mixed media works. As Handa shares, "Our aim was to create an immersive design experience—one that blurs the lines between décor and storytelling. It was a celebration of heritage techniques made for today's homes. We have crafted a collection rich in texture, embroidery, and color, designed to breathe with the rhythm of nature."

"'Wild Spring' consists of quilted textures that bring freshness and charm, infusing the home with the vibrant energy of spring. 'Come Away With Me' is a summer garden reimagined. It is an invitation to sink into the soft luxury of pure cotton and linen, adorned with embroidery that captures the romance of distant lands. Art Deco elegance, Persian floral medallions, and vintage European botanicals come alive through intricate Ari embroidery, rice stitch, French knots, and chain stitch. 'In the Mood for Summer' embraces the hues of the Indian summer—lush greens and sun-baked oranges, ocean blues, and deep corals—set against the timeless beauty of ivory, neutral, and natural linens," explains the designer.
