Trendy home decor
A renowned home décor brand Casa-Pop has come up with its festive Autumn/Winter ’17 collection at Select City Walk. The latest collection showcased an entire range of luxurious specialty weather proof leather-clad wooden trunks, unique men’s gifting solutions including pockets squares, watch boxes and cufflinks, interchangeable lampshades with multiple colours and prints, crystal embedded and cut dana beaded and embroidered clutches, perfect for both evening and traditional gear and an entire range of porcelain tablewares in safari and gold prints as a part of a large collection of home decor and incidental furniture pieces.
Raseel Ansal Gujral, Founder and Creative Director, said, “In the world of the more sedate scandinavian and Italian designs, the millennial, as well as the personalities with a strong sense of uniqueness are looking for a Casa-Pop. The idea of accent pieces and utilitarian art is the new “must have” in any home space. You must own something that makes you happy, strikes a conversation and marks your own identity. And I strive to cater to that sentiment. It gives me sense of peace to offer quality while endeavouring to create something which will always be “that special piece. We have steadily seen a rise in this segment and will continue to cater to this sector overseas in the coming years”.
