You must be wondering where is my blogging and…

and where have I flown away???

Sleeping! NO, I am not sleeping!

I am working non-stop!

And in fact at the moment hanging precariously!

But coming soon with a new opening!

Taking a giant leap!

In a new avatar!

And DesignFlute will soooon swing back to golden non-stop blogging days!

With folded hands yours DesignFlute apologizes for disappearing without a note and say Thank you Million times for being so patient and generous!

Artist: Priya Anand pariyani

Today through this post I am celebrating three things – womanhood, Holi (festival of colours -just around the corner), art and lighted colours!

Ahmedabad based artist Priya Anand Pariyani’s art speak simple earthy emotions perhaps but with electrifying colours!

Her favourite subject is woman!

And today she is celebrating Women’s day at Ahmedabad’s Karnavati Art Gallery!

Her bold colours and hues speak vibrancy and dynamism of a woman.

A glimpse into many moods and state of womanhood via Priya’s artworks.

Check more of her electrifying work here and here.

Artist: Carolien Adriaansche

It is junk, it is art, it is brilliant!

I did not know the junk could look so smile-inspiringly cute!

The Dutch artist Carolien Adriaansche creats these infinitely adorable creatures from everyday recycled objects – lights bulbs, bottles, gloves, rubber band, caps, utensils etc.

More of her creations here.

‘Red Palace’

(What else should it be called!)

The vibrant colours and carvings from India, essence of Indonesia and impressions from China are creating ambiences so splendid yet so earthy. These are some most exotic interiors I have come across of Asian origin.

These rooms are created by exotic furniture, sofas and objects at La Maison Coloniale.

‘Cappuccino’

(This one is my favourite!)

‘Udaipur’

‘Jaipur’

(Rajasthan yes but Buddha way!)

‘Banyan’

‘Fashion’

‘Yunnan’

(For me the bicycle makes all the difference!)

‘Sayang’

‘Jonque’

‘Angkor’

‘Yinyang’

Turban’

‘Nagori’

‘Lotus canape’

Let’s move a little bit away from the red palace now…..

Not red, but as exotic for sure!

Can’t resist not putting here.

‘Tribal’

‘Cocoon’

‘Storm’

(Another favourite!)

‘Plein sud’

A strong wake up call for ….. (for all of us)

Human Chair By Martin Azua

For this piece of furniture you don’t need any material support!

And in addition see how it bonds people together!

On this Republic Day what better we need than a ‘Human Chair’ – absolutely heart warming project by Barcelona based Martin Ruiz De Azua.

Must check the ‘Human Chair’ video on his website (click on projects)

See some  flag hoisting I did in earlier post.

Lawnscape

Designer: Sam Gensberg

When functionality marries green –  imagine the result – obviously stunning. Extend your lawn, create your lounge and then merge both, you have this beautiful lawnscape!

Young designer Sam Gensberg from Philadelphia has a passion for sustainable design and graphics.

 See here his other innovative and creative designs.

Sunflower, tea and expansive view.

Architects: OPOLIS

OPOLIS is a multidisciplinary, award winning design practice by a very young team of architects based in Mumbai and Pune.

Was I talking about the view.

Endless hours of view.

‘House by the ridge’  is an award winning vacation retreat  by the architects in Khadakvasla, Pune

Organic is the mantra here.

If you are looking for signature style you will find none.

Colours and Geometry.

Ask for variety and you will find it everywhere.

The traditional touch.

The Zen bliss.

The basic rule here, it seems is simplicity.

Did you notice the drawings (?) on glass cabinet doors!

Clutter free -inviting.

The golden mix.

Clean Modern.

A small playground at Deepalaya School, Guspethi, Haryana (India)

Architects: @ Romi Khosla Design Studio

Here basic architectural elements are turned upside down!

There is a playground in a house – a house in a play ground.

Let’s play hide and seek!

Doors and windows here take you to open space and walls are see-through and move too!

And if you need you can create your own private space as all the panels can pivot.

Romi Khosla a veteran Indian architect is an urban planner and author too.
