How to Style Your Home with Art Deco
Art Deco works best at home in small, deliberate doses: one confident piece, warm metallics, and calm surroundings. Drawing on the streets Alpesh grew up around, home to one of the world's largest collections of Deco buildings, here is how to style the era without turning your living room into a film set.
Natural Cotton: Designed for the Senses
We are surrounded by materials that demand to be noticed, but natural cotton does something far more profound: it absorbs.

Explore the sensory magic of a fabric that softens, settles, and grows warmer with time.
The Architecture of Pattern: Iznik, Azulejos, and Jali
From Iznik in Istanbul to the Azulejos of Seville, the carved screens of Jaipur to the temple forms of Japan, Alpesh asks why every culture, independently, arrived at the same instinct.
Small moments of art
What does it feel like to move through a life where the objects around you carry some trace of thought? From the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi to twenty years of hand-carving fretwork in South London, Alpesh shares a belief that sits at the heart of everything Bombay Design Co. makes.
