Life n Colors’ existing brand presence in interior designer and architect community helped us in quickly gaining access to new projects.
With the website showcasing your collections, how critical is the role of e-commerce in reaching a global audience?
E-commerce is pivotal, allowing us to connect with a worldwide audience. It showcases our collections and simplifies access for both designers and homeowners. A major share of our business comes from international markets, especially Indian diaspora in English speaking countries such as the US, UK, Middle East etc. Our online presence has helped us tremendously to capture such niche market. This would have been very difficult in conventional offline route.
Have you partnered with other brands, designers, or artisans to enhance your collections or broaden your reach?
Till now, we have engaged designers and artisans to get feedback and inputs in our designs. However entire designing process is done internally. We have a set of talented designers who develop such designs. In future, we may go for more engaged collaboration like launching co-branded products.
What’s next for Prasanaakshi? Are there any upcoming launches, expansions, or new market entries we can look forward to?
We are working on a new collection that further integrates sustainability and luxury, which is set to launch in 2025. This collection will narrate stories of new world art through home textiles.
On the business expansion front, we plan to collaborate with a few luxury home décor stores in key cities. Additionally, expanding into global markets remains a key focus for 2025.
Lastly, how are shifting consumer preferences, such as the emphasis on wellness and minimalism, influencing home textile design and functionality?
Consumers now seek designs that evoke calmness and luxury while also being functional. While our textiles reflect this shift with timeless aesthetics and sustainability, we are intentionally diverging from minimalistic design trends. Instead, we aim to carve out a unique niche catering to customer segments that demand bold patterns and designs.
Our focus is on creating bold, storytelling designs, which serve as our unique selling proposition (USP).
