For a trendy home

IT'S YOUNG, contemporary, trendy and savvy. Above all, it is light on the purse. The '999' collection seems specially designed for the young home-maker. Each product of the functional lifestyle range is kept under Rs. 999.

Some of the country's leading product designers have crafted decorative yet functional items using wood, clay, marble, glass, ceramics, white metal, paper and beads. Flower vases, tile coasters, wooden trays, ceramic antique-looking wall hangings inlaid with Japanese and Urdu calligraphy... the range is stunning.

The artefacts showcased under the Apparao Galleries' Art and Design Series are simple, smart and eye-catching, designed to bring class to your homes.

You can pick up coasters with ceramic motifs, wooden trays in delightful colours, well-crafted animals which could double up as ashtrays, tiny vases, serving bowls and candle stands in unusual shapes and sizes.

For the imaginative home-maker, there is a wide array to choose from... wind chimes with colourful fish and animals, large picture frames, steel fruit bowls painted in bright hues, designer bar sets and office organisers.

There is something for the gift shopper too.

Exquisite salt and pepper sets, elegant white metal trays, salad and fork sets, coconut and buffalo horn spoons attract attention.

From tiny perfectly styled letter openers to beautiful textured glass plates, the 999 collection offers interior options for home and office.

Also available are costume jewellery, fashioned out of paper and beads, and even white marble.

The exhibition is on at the Apparao Galleries till August 7, and at The Accessory Shop till August 30. The address is Wallace Gardens, 7th street.
