EDITORIAL
It’s time to reinforce all that the magazine stands for—great design, strong aesthetics and an innate comfort for home interiors. We explore several trends—the art of useful Origami, shopping websites to browse, an Italian home that hosts colourful chaos and lots more. Fashion and interiors are the highlights of good living and furniture designer Samuele Mazza combines both his loves in his latest line for the Italian giant Colombostile. Be prepared to gasp with awe at chairs with pencil heels, sofas dressed in fur andbirdcage chandeliers.Designers of Indian origin are making a splash internationally and one such is Kamini Ezralow, the managing director of Intarya, a London-based interior design company. Kamini, of Indian origin, fi rst felt the calling for her vocation after a sourcing trip to
Rajasthan with her mother for their home accessories store in Hong Kong. In the pages ahead, we bring you a Swiss chalet which she designed from scratch in a traditional style after it was torn down and rebuilt into a holiday haven.Visionary and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra also introduces us to his New York studio, where the interiors foster a sense of communion for those who visit, which includes luminaries such as US President Obama.There’s a lot more, including furnishing trends for 2013!
Casaviva’s Indian edition now enters its fi fth year.
