Pampered by domestic luxe home furnishing brands like Good Earth and Sarita Handa, the Indian globetrotter might not be as enthusiastic as before to cart back tableware and bedding from holidays in the West. But there are many who still swear by mainstays like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. Which is why the latter, the San Francisco-based digital-led sustainable brand, decided to set up shop in the country last September.
The flagship in the capital, at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj, has its popular in-house interior design team on hand to offer imaginative solutions. Sometimes it brings in industry experts for a dash of local inspiration, as it did last week, with The Summer House. About 15 interior designers, together with Pramiti Madhavji (founding editor of Elle Décor magazine) and design consultant Sonia Bajaj, had some fun with prints, patterns and a multitude of materials.
Part of the Williams-Sonoma portfolio (including West Elm and Rejuvenation), Pottery Barn India has interesting collaborations coming up, like the one with actor Deepika Padukone. But for now, we asked its country head, Puneet Behal, to share collab plans, while a few designers weighed in on their personal favourites.
