Marrying Neutral Hues with Premium Materials

Forged with the fusion of fluted glass and acacia wood, the functional accent pieces are perfect for bringing serenity to your living spaces.

Modernity in contemporary design is about a blend of premium material, muted hues and the interplay of functionality with dynamic and innovative techniques. Orange Tree’s latest collection, affably titled ‘Paolo’, in remembrance of the Italian designer, embodies his exceptional design sensibilities and the brand’s penchant for sustainability. Inspired by the designs of Paolo Venini, one of the leading figures in the production of Murano glass and an important contributor to 20th-century design, the collection is a stunning mélange of simple, clean aesthetics with a purity of outline set off against unusual combinations of colors.  

Born in the blue city of Jodhpur, Orange Tree is the e-commerce retail venture of Basant, an iconic 22-year-old world-renowned design and export house that has been transforming living spaces for over two decades. Backed by years of expertise and a roster of international clients like Crate & Barrel, Zara Home, H&M Home, Pottery Barn among others, Orange Tree strikes a balance between creativity and detailed craftsmanship, with a special focus on furniture, lighting and wall décor. Spread on a sprawling area of 9,35,000 sq. ft, the brand houses a robust team of 250+ skilled artisans and 500+ employees in its home city of Jodhpur, preserving its artistic and ancient heritage, passed down through generations. 

The latest collection features sturdy and thoughtfully crafted chairs, benches, bar trolley, study table, puffs, dining table, coffee table, TV cabinets, wardrobes, beds and bedside tables. Created by combining fluted glass with acacia wood, the entire line is a perfect example of modern simplicity expressed in contemporary craft. Reflecting the contrast of fragile transparency against the hard solid wood, the collection is reminiscent of the brand’s consistently thoughtful response to conceiving dynamic and versatile spaces, perfect for dressing up your home this festive season. The finely conceptualized wood pieces in contrasting tones of subtle greys and deep browns are designed for specific purposes but can be used for organizing any kind of space, be it a living area, bedrooms, studies, kitchens and even bath areas. Besides functionality, these elements also introduce different materials, textures, and colors into the environments

“Venini introduced the revolutionary technique of glassblowing in the French fashion industry at a magnanimous scale after the First World War. With Paolo, we have paid homage to his legacy and futuristic designs. Marrying neutral hues with premium materials gave us a canvas to create a line with sleek silhouettes and clean patterns worthy of every home, especially for the upcoming festive celebrations.” –  Gaurav Jain, Founder of Orange Tree.
