Spring / Summer 21 - Minakari

This spring our collections are infused with a rich, intricate exoticism that celebrates the decorative arts of India. India has always been a source of inspiration at Designers Guild and now, as we look back over 50 years, it seems entirely appropriate that we once again turn to the sub- continent with its vast array of inspiration.

The decorative arts of India are rooted in a deep and spiritual culture and are a form of self-expression that is both ancient and timeless. From the glittering minakari that adorn the Mughal palaces of Rajasthan and the extraordinary jewellery of Indian brides to the intricate and embellished art of silk weaving for Saris to the complex, delicate Indian miniatures that are found all over the country - the treasures of Indian art are boundless. This spring, Lustrous prints, embroideries, silks and velvets, wallpapers and panels as well as complex cut velvets and epingles pay homage to ancient artisanal techniques but are completely reinvented, bringing together a contemporary style with high quality performance.
