The Luxe Habitat Roundtable - An Intimate Evening of Design, Dialogue & Discovery

About this Experience
An evening of thoughtful exchange, where leading architects, interior designers, and design leaders came together to explore how material, technology, culture, and craft are redefining luxury living in India. As conversations unfolded over fine food, wine, and cocktails, a clear narrative emerged: luxury in Indian homes is evolving. No longer about overt opulence, it is now about Storytelling, rare and sustainable materials, intelligent design for privacy and density, and invisible smart technologies that heighten comfort, wellness, and security. These discussions illuminated how India's most visionary creators are shaping globally refined yet unmistakably Indian spaces - homes that reflect legacy, landscape, and a sense of belonging for those who can buy anything, but choose meaning over excess. Select leaders, one shared purpose to define what the next decade of Indian luxury will feel like. No large crowds. No clutter. Only meaningful conversations and curated luxury.

The Conversation
The Client–Designer Equation
From Vision Gap to Vision Alignment. Today's clients arrive inspired yet indecisive. Designers now translate emotion into form turning references into resonance. The new luxury lies in empathy, creating together, not dictating.
Customisation as Identity
The Rise of the Personal Aesthetic. Luxury has become personal. Clients seek stories, not statements. Custom lamps, tactile finishes, and details only they'll know. Refinement now lives in intimacy, not excess.
Art, Technology & the Expanding Canvas
Digital art and design innovation are reshaping modern homes. Certified digital frames and dynamic pieces bring motion, memory, and meaning - where craft meets code, and art feels alive.
The Hospitality Effect
Homes as Experiences. Travel has taught us that calm is the ultimate luxury. Clients now want homes that feel like retreats. Light-filled, breathable, and grounded in comfort. Spaces designed to live, not just impress.
Conscious Craft & the Future of Indian Luxury
India's design future rests on craft and conscience. From hand-polished stone to natural lime, designers are reviving timeless materials proving sustainability can be sensual, soulful, and enduring.

Luxury isn't about how much space you own - it's about how deeply that space understands you.
Design has moved beyond beauty; it's now about storytelling — crafting spaces that say who you are, without words.
Refinement today is found in silence, texture, and truth - the kind of beauty that doesn't need to be seen to be felt.

Rahul Mistri
Founder & Principal Designer, Open Atelier Mumbai
"Every home tells a story. The walls, the textures, the light - all become part of its narrative. Storytelling is what defines the soul of a home."

Savio Dsilva
Fine Artist
"Art has become more personal - it's no longer about display, but about self-expression."

Mumtaz Patel
Social Worker
"Luxury, to me, is comfort that feels effortless - a home that breathes with you, not a hotel you admire from afar."
