Check out our new website at www.bpbweekend.com!Papier Prêt
You’d hardly expect paper, glue and banana fibre to turn into something so chic. Paper chandeliers and lamps are the new heavyweights on the light circuit, and the best buzz-worthy buy for your home. We spied these at Bliss, a newly opened lifestyle store at Versova that also stocks clothes by designers like Nachiket Barve and Lina Tipnis, and accessories by Soul of Silver, Pandora’s Pitara and Stoffa.
These eco-friendly floor lamps have been designed by Jenny Pinto, who makes the material in her Bangalore studio out of long silky fibers from banana tree trunks, and styles it to create a dance of shadows and sensuality. Do we see flash bulbs?
Getting there: 180, Aram Nagar 1, Fisheries University Road, 7 Bungalows, Versova, Andheri (W).
Wax Couture
Also putting the chic after eco are Crawford Market’s 100% bees wax candles. None of that overwhelmingly flavoured berry stuff; just the subtle scent of honey and lemon grass, and hints of natural colour. Plus, these candles can wax eloquent for 40 hours, and won’t go off under the fan. You can sniff them out at Contemporary Arts and Crafts (Napeansea Road), Attic (Khar), Dhoop (Khar), Mobius Strip (Bandra), Tribal Route (Andheri), 1BHK (Kamla Mills, Lower Parel). And if you need another reason to schedule a hot pick-up today, bpb subscribers take 10% off all Crawford Market candles until November 15th.
Plus, the weekend’s almost here – so go ahead and lighten up!
