I think this edition has been a great experience, after the lockdown when the industry was looking at coming together, sharing views and re-establishing businesses with a new energy. We had all the top retailers and distributors in the home industry and they expressed great satisfaction with the kind of innovations brought in by the exhibitors. Agenda 2021, which was to bring the industry back on track, has certainly helped in filling that gap of demand and supply in the home business in home textiles, home decor, houseware and gifts segments. It was indeed a very encouraging and heartwarming edition of HGH India which marked the 10th anniversary of the show.” After a successful debut at India Expo Centre, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR, the next edition, HGH India 2022 will continue on the growth path at the same venue, with a bigger and better eleventh edition.

RESET TOGETHER!

Our family and home are our sound basis, our safe haven; home has become even more than ever a holy site where nothing adverse should be allowed in. It provides us with the strength needed for everyday life. Going outdoors means increasingly taking care of us and taking care of others. We need better cities and we contribute taking care of our surroundings, respecting nature - the well of the most needed things in our life, clean water, fresh food and a beautiful place for mental refreshment for us all. Separating waste is just one hit. Leaving no waste behind means, nature and cities should be like our minds: pure and clean. Take a fresh look at your home! Make yourself comfortable. Today, home is the place of good ideas, brilliant inventions and new starts! Organize a place for working, thinking and retreat, another place for the family to be happy, a place for cooking and gathering and a place for sleeping, resting, luxury and leisure. Take nature home, as much as possible – be it small gardening at home, be it just relaxation for your eyes!

HOME & ROOTS

Last year, during lockdown, the otherwise polluted air became suddenly so clean, that the dark blue sky could be appreciated in all its beauty. The amazed residents of Delhi were able to count the stars at night. Spending forcefully more time at home makes self-care and wellbeing relevant on all levels. Indispensable settings are a comfortable place for home-office and a high-performance bed for a restful sleep. Health-food and yoga provide focus to a greater extent on the everyday objects around us. The colour-palette is grounded, down to earth; nuances often result through the material itself: Ethnic-Blue, Deep Blue, soft Olive-Green or Sandshell-White. When you stay at home, an easy going and practical lifestyle takes over. Bathrooms and kitchen are provided with natural stones and terrazzo patterns; cooking is done with time-saving gadgets and wooden items; eating is celebrated with nice-to-look-at everyday pottery and some antiques are cared for warmly – for instance grandma`s old pots.

GOOD VIBES ON

What is right or wrong? Separation of people, todays difficulty of gathering, caring about vulnerable family members, splitting opinions, fake information, disruption of continuity are more than ever their greatest challenges. Home settings are welcoming, feminine and courageous, embracing the new empowerment of women, turning over ancient beliefs and systems through humour and honesty in a modern, retro and experimental way. Vibrant, warm, colourful products and gadgets are breathing leisure time and comfort. Aqua Green, Aruba Blue, Sunlight Cream, Persimmon Pink, are soft and lively colours, contrasting with Liquorice Black, Coriander and Old Gold. Working places are perfectly fit and inspiring to study new topics and do home-office; furniture is cosy and comfortable in light colourful combinations. Multicolour kitchens in pastel shades, invite to cook and try out new recipes with the help of fancy kitchen utensils! Waste bins in different options and colours are offering to separate waste and take care of the environment.

GREENFLUENCER

During lockdown in Jalandhar, the air was so clear that people could see the Dhauladhar mountains. Nature is literally returning to us. We understand that we are the main cause of pollution. The world is shifting towards green and slow living. There is a deep longing for nature, a day out in a fairy-tale countryside landscape, enjoying a

romantic picknick or some hiking holidays in genuine nature with lakes, rivers and mountains. Home-gardening is also an option! Green Living provides an effective measure against global warming; choices for a greener and lighter living are possible with new materials, less logistical costs and new visions of consuming. Buying utilities in small neighbourhood shops is a green service to the region, too. The choice of hues, Apricot and Saffron, Basil, Mint-Green, Jasper-Blue and Castlerock-Grey reflects the bittersweet yearning for a green feeling. “Cottage-core” is booming. Macramé, basketry and wood, nice plants and cosy furniture in the living-room enhance the resort-feeling. Photographic wallpaper showing landscapes or nature topics take travel sensations home. A bathroom decorated with stone and woods displays yoga-resort functionality. We buy recycled glass and focus on reusable items of lasting quality. Kitchen is not just for cooking! Eating healthy and consciously has already become an online favourite. Cooking-photography and posting is in. Kitchen appliances and cookware are the new online-stars requiring homey and photogenic cuisines for sitting, staying and displaying.

GOLDEN HOURS

The way we spend our money casts a vote for the world we wish for. The eye rests on golden patina shapes, natural sober hues and lustrous shiny colours of high-end mosaics. Smoked-Pearl or Moonstruck-Greys are combined with Gold and Fayence-Blue, as well as Crushed-Violet and Java-Black. Difficult jobs in home-office are easier to be accomplished in a luxurious, cosy surrounding. A bathroom with spa-qualities allows regeneration and relaxing in opulence. With an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, health and fitness become vital topics. They are sustainably mastered through indicated health-food programs and sportive activities provided by digital fitness-clubs with aid of wrist watches and other fitness gadgets. Feeling safe in a hotel-like surrounding allows us to retreat from the outer world. Eating outdoors may not be wanted, so home cooking is absolute high-end in a technically perfected kitchen, modern and elegant under highest hygiene standards – with technical gadgets in carefully arranged storage systems. Eyecatchers are retro water-boilers or fridges, bold whisky glasses and golden kitchen equipment.
