INDesign4U offers beautiful and unique products, for you and your home, made by hand in India. About INDesign4U featuring Spring Rhythm

I fell in love with the designs of India during my 2 year stay in that exotic and intoxicating country. The textiles there had a richness of color and diversity of pattern that almost seemed to embody its culture, people and landscape.  One of my favourite places to visit was Spring Rhythm, a beautiful local shop offering hand-printed accessories for home decoration.

Spring Rhythm’s founder, Sonali Kapoor, has Indian roots, a keen sense of style and an eye turned to the world.  She has lived and worked in Stockholm, Tokyo and London, and you can see in her craft the inspiration of India…with an international twist.  She describes Spring Rhythm this way –

"Spring Rhythm captures the traditional technique of hand block printing. Its graceful and natural finish provides a sense of calm and well-being.  But Spring Rhythm is not just about products - it's about people. Its vibrant team of printers, weavers and colour makers partner with a well-travelled international customer base to create designs that are beautiful and sustainable. Spring Rhythm’s approach to design and production is thoughtful and considered -- minimizing the use of chemical dyes and water and working with local artisans and experts to create truly original designs.”

While in India, I visited Sonali’s shop often. I loved her products and filled my house with her rugs, cushions, curtains, and linens. I guess it was my way of ensuring a little bit of India stayed with us after our assignment was complete.  My friends and family loved them too and I began to see the possibilities of sharing the beautiful and unique Spring Rhythm products with others.  


In April 2014, I returned to Bangalore to start the discussion of bringing Spring Rhythm to Switzerland.  Today, I am very happy to say that Sonali’s unique designs are now available to anyone who might like to bring a touch of India into their home.
