Sansaar’s story of two sisters building a brand together, with trust, clarity, and shared purpose, is exceptional. Their approach to design-led, culturally aware, and thoughtful leadership aligns perfectly with our values. Partnering with Sansaar is not just a business collaboration, it is an alignment of vision, creativity, and long-term purpose.”

Their deep understanding of the region, strong distribution capabilities, and long-standing relationships make them ideal partners for our international expansion. We share a commitment to quality, design integrity, and long-term value creation, making this collaboration especially meaningful.”

Sanjana Arora, Co-founder of Sansaar, added:

“Working alongside Fabric Library is a significant milestone for Sansaar as we take our first step beyond India. We are proud to be the first Indian home furnishings brand to go global. The legacy of craftsmanship and quality that made D’Décor a trusted name continues in Sansaar’s entrepreneurial spirit, which strives for excellence while upholding family values and business ethics.”

With this launch, Sansaar sets the foundation for a phased global expansion into selective markets through strategic distribution partnerships, bringing India’s rich design heritage to discerning international audiences.

Beige Is No Longer Background. It Is the New Language of Sophisticated Interiors

Kishangarh, Jan 13:  For decades, beige quietly occupied interior spaces—dependable, neutral, and often overlooked. Today, it has undergone a meaningful transformation. In contemporary architecture and design, beige is no longer a supporting element or safe fallback. It has emerged as a deliberate design language, expressing calm, permanence, and understated sophistication.

This evolution reflects a broader shift in how luxury is perceived. Where opulence once defined status, today’s most refined spaces prioritise restraint, tactility, and emotional clarity. Beige especially in natural stone has become the medium through which this modern sensibility is articulated.

From Neutral to Structural

In modern interiors, beige no longer fades into the background; it anchors space. It shapes light, softens architectural volumes, and allows form and proportion to take centre stage without visual disruption. Warm-toned palettes create environments that feel composed rather than curated—spaces that reveal depth and character over time.

Designers are increasingly gravitating towards materials that do not demand attention, yet reward sustained engagement. Beige marble, with its gentle veining and mineral warmth, achieves this balance—offering richness without excess and elegance without overt display.

When Stone Becomes the Language

This shift is particularly evident in The Sands of Serenity collection by Tilak Marbles. Conceived as a cohesive palette rather than a statement piece, the collection brings together warm-toned marbles that emphasise continuity, softness, and architectural relevance.

Stones such as Pale Muse, Nude Horizon, Calm Matter, Ivory Trace, Linen Vein, Ecru Mist, Tuscan Earth, Honey Dune, Sand Muse, and Desert Whisper are defined by restraint. Their appeal lies in subtle tonal variations and nuanced textures surfaces that respond gently to light and integrate seamlessly with wood, metal, and natural textiles.

Rather than functioning as mere backdrops, these marbles form the quiet framework around which interiors are thoughtfully composed.

Designed for How Spaces Are Lived In

Beige’s renewed relevance also stems from its adaptability. Warm-toned stone surfaces transition effortlessly across residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces. They allow furniture, art, and human movement to coexist harmoniously an increasingly vital consideration in long-term, sustainable design.

In Indian interiors especially, where natural daylight is abundant and spaces are experienced throughout the day, beige marble softens light without diminishing it. The result is environments that remain visually calm while retaining architectural precision.

Reflecting on this material evolution, Praveen Gangwal, Founder of Tilak Marbles, said:

“Beige today is not about playing it safe. It is about making a conscious design decision—choosing materials that bring balance, warmth, and permanence to a space.”

He added:  “With The Sands of Serenity, we focused on stones that support architecture rather than overpower it. These are marbles that allow interiors to feel lived-in, calm, and relevant—not just today, but for years to come.”

The New Definition of Sophistication

Sophistication in contemporary design is no longer about immediacy; it is about endurance. Spaces are not created to impress at first glance, but to hold attention quietly, age gracefully, and remain emotionally resonant over time.

In this context, beige marble has moved far beyond neutrality. It has become structure, atmosphere, and intent—a material that reflects a deeper understanding of luxury as something experienced, not displayed.

Shri Ghanshyambhai Dholakia shared his reflections

“Inspired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Mission, I took the initiative to launch the Kisna Diamond Marathon in 2016 with just 350 participants. Today, it spans across 55 cities, honouring winners with natural diamonds. When Shri Prime Minister Narendra Modi learns that a Guinness World Record has emerged from our country, that too by HK, it will be a proud moment for the nation.”

According to the organizers, the core objective of the expo had been to provide a national platform to weavers and highlight India’s rich handloom heritage. The exhibition brought together the finest weaving traditions from the Northeast’s fine textiles and South India’s silk legacy to Maharashtra’s Paithani craft, Varanasi’s celebrated silk weaving, Himachal’s woolen artistry and North India’s cotton fabrics. Visitors not only shopped but also interacted directly with the weavers to understand their techniques, tools and design processes, making the expo a culturally enriching experience.

As the expo drew to a close, footfall continued to rise. Several stalls added new stock and introduced special offers to meet the increasing demand for genuine handloom products. Organizers expressed gratitude to Delhi residents for their enthusiastic participation and support for India’s traditional weaving communities.
