his months issue of TRENDS is mini digest on bath spaces. We bring you extraordinary bathrooms from across the world that go beyond their fundamental purpose. We also have diligently picked out the bathroom accessories that will add that touch of elegance or just add that certain je ne sais quoi element to an often, thought not so much, overlooked space. A must read is Akshat Bhatt’s guest column as well as the interviews with designer Ashiesh Shah and light designer Abhay Wadhwa where they reiterate how architecture and design is frame of mind. We are officially open to receive your entries for the TRENDS Excellence Awards for Architecture & Design 2014. www.trendsawards.in, our online gateway to your submissions has an all new look; the awards details are all there along with in-depth information on last year’s winners and the awards night.
