Tell us about the latest collection.
Onset Homes has launched its very special Summer Collection of soft furnishings in collaboration with the Manovikas Kendra, an institution in Kolkata that imparts education to the differently-abled.

What is the inspiration behind it?
Drawing inspiration from nature, the designs accentuate flowers, leaves and birds in a cacophony of shades. The final result is the sublime evocation of a nature scape, a dazzling display of hidden brilliance and tinctures. The patterns have been translated into intriguing statement pieces of soft furnishings for your space. Cushions, Throws, Mats, and Runners- designed with dexterous detail in mercerised cotton and tweeds, the amalgamation is built on the foundation of love and gratification.
What colour palettes have been used?
We used happy fresh spring colours such as pinks, orange, lime greens, turquoise.
What design philosophy has gone into creating the collection?
We wanted to have elements from nature- as these are stuff that the youngsters could connect with and also feel happy making them.
Do you weave in sustainability in your collections and how?
We use only natural fibres in our fabric and ensure that our dyes are all azo-free.
Any styling tips with items from the collection to give your rooms a summer vibe?
Our cushions are so vibrant and happy and also versatile that they could be used in a wide way and with much ease. Throw in these cushions with some solid colour cushions you might at least be having and your room will get an instant happy and cozy vibe.
