Designer Deepshikha Khanna shares her go-to list of home accessories brands

1.    TaanBaan for their cushions and rugs. They are doing such interesting work, using zari and a khadi weaving technique which they use on cushions.

2.    The Carpet Cellar for their vintage kilims and carpets—and the vast knowledge bank I get to dip into each time I go there.

3.    Baro for their furniture and accessories. They used to refurbish old art deco pieces with interesting colours to switch things up a bit. I’ve bought an interesting planter among other things. The light I bought, however, is new but is art deco-inspired as well.

4.    Chor Bazaar is my dive for all art deco lights and furniture, mainly Taherally’s and Imran Art Store (Shop no. 13, Mutton Street; 02223474834, 9867792501). Imran has the most exquisite pieces which are rare finds. I’ve bought Scandinavian lamps that came off the decks of ships in the 1970s, original American art deco lamps and 1940s’ tequila glasses with a Bauhaus stand from him.

5.    Mohan Metal Mart for my antique brass and copper vessels, which I love to collect. (Shop No.5, Taj Building August Kranti Marg, Gowalia Tank; 022 23864796, 7021065255, 9820481831)

6.    Phantom Hands for the most beautiful recreations of the Chandigarh series of furniture and a writing desk which they custom-made for me from their Dutch design partners, Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel of the firm X+L. Their khadi fabric abstract artworks are to die for too.

7.    Atelier Ashiesh Shah’s lingam interpretation sculpture in longpi is a really unique piece of art as it’s very tough to make large structures in the longpi technique.
 

8.    Longpi Pottery from Nagaland is something I’m obsessed with currently; I have many dishes which I use for everyday serving made out of longpi. (Available from many platforms such as Jaypore.)

9.    The Kishkinda Trust is a community that works with water hyacinth and banana fibre. They make gorgeous baskets, trivets, mats and rugs. Every room in my house is filled with goodies from Kishkinda.

10.    Gaia Pottery for all my planters. I’ve recently become obsessed with pottery.

11.    Payoja Agarwal is a self-taught potter making the most honest pieces, two of which I own and can’t wait to buy more.

12.    Veena Pottery is another ceramicist I love for her very modern crockery. I brought some of her pieces from Le Mill. (Bhopal-based Veena Singh retails out of the Le Mill store in Mumbai; her Instagram handle is @myspaceveena)   

13.    Eeshaan Kashyap is one person who has an incredible aesthetic from whom I don’t own anything—yet. I will soon though. He is a man of multiple talents but best known for his culinary prowess; he is developing a line of tableware, which I’m certain is going to be beautiful. (Follow his work in all these places: eeshankashyap.com,
