New Delhi : Kesari Home, a heritage-inspired luxury home brand deeply rooted in Indian craftsmanship and artisanal storytelling, proudly announced the inauguration of its flagship store at The Kunj, Vasant Kunj, through an elegant evening dedicated to the enduring beauty of handcrafted living.
The launch event was thoughtfully curated by Sunayana Chibba, bringing together esteemed members of Delhi’s design, cultural, and creative circles for an immersive experience celebrating India’s rich textile heritage. Guests explored an exceptional collection of hand-knotted carpets, handwoven rugs, and artisanal décor pieces while enjoying a refined live Santoor and Tabla fusion performance accompanied by a thoughtfully curated high-tea experience inspired by the warmth and sophistication of Indian hospitality.
A special highlight of the evening was a live carpet weaving session by master weaver Nazir from Kashmir, offering guests an intimate glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship and generational artistry behind every handmade carpet. The demonstration beautifully reflected the patience, skill, and heritage that continue to define India’s weaving traditions.
Established upon the legacy of Shri S.D. Nirula, whose journey began following the Partition when his family relocated from Bannu (now in Pakistan) to Delhi, Kesari Home continues a longstanding tradition of dedication to Indian handicrafts and carpets. Over the decades, the family has built one of India’s most respected names in the realm of handmade rugs and heritage craftsmanship.
“At Kesari Home, we believe that every handcrafted piece should embody the spirit of the artisan and become a meaningful part of the customer’s journey. Our flagship store is not merely a retail destination, but a tribute to India’s timeless craftsmanship and the artisan communities that preserve these invaluable traditions,” said Archana Nirula, Founder of Kesari Home.
At the core of Kesari Home is a profound commitment to preserving India’s artisanal heritage. The brand collaborates closely with weaving clusters and generational craft families across the country, where each carpet is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Every hand-knotted rug often requires several months to complete, involving thousands of individually tied knots and the collective expertise of artisans engaged in spinning, dyeing, weaving, washing, and finishing.
“Curating this evening for my community was truly special because Kesari Home beautifully represents the soul of Indian craftsmanship and the stories woven into every handmade piece. It was wonderful to bring together people who genuinely appreciate heritage, artistry, and conscious luxury in such an intimate and inspiring setting,” said Sunayana Chibba.
Guided by the philosophy “Your Home, Your Story,” Kesari Home creates pieces that seamlessly blend timeless Indian heritage with contemporary aesthetics. From hand-knotted wool and silk rugs to hand-tufted and handwoven collections, each creation reflects exceptional craftsmanship, authentic design sensibilities, and heirloom-quality artistry intended to endure beyond trends and time.
The newly inaugurated store exemplifies the brand’s distinctive approach to luxury — one rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and thoughtful craftsmanship. By utilising premium renewable materials and responsible manufacturing practices, Kesari Home seeks to create soulful living spaces while advancing conscious and sustainable luxury.
Beyond design excellence, Kesari Home remains deeply committed to social impact. A portion of the brand’s profits supports the India Vision Foundation, established by Dr. Kiran Bedi, contributing to initiatives focused on education, rehabilitation, women’s empowerment, and community development. The brand also works directly with artisan communities to help preserve traditional weaving practices and sustain livelihoods for future generations.
The flagship store at The Kunj, Vasant Kunj embodies the essence of Kesari Home, where heritage craftsmanship converges with contemporary living, and every handcrafted piece reflects a story of culture, artistry, and human connection.
