This September, we're celebrating the 7th anniversary of TRENDS, with bold designer — Sussanne Khan — as our cover star. She takes us on a tour of her store and speaks to us about her design ideals and ethos. In another, one-of-a-kind feature, we put together some of the most interesting insights we're learnt since our first published issue, about the most creative minds in the industry. It's truly worth a read!

This month's Power Grid celebrates future-forward, exceptional designs that have come to define products and spaces today. We also speak to one of India's most iconic architects and designers, Bijoy Ramachandran of Hundredhands. In celebration of our anniversary, our Portfolio section feature some architecturally-inspired cakes by Dinara Kasko. Our residential and commercial projects include a home by Knock on Wood, an expansive villa by Italy-based Duilio Damilano, and offices by Vistasp Bhagwagar, Studio Ardete, Vidhita Kharkar and Rajeev Thakker. On our global hunt for splendid architecture, artist Bose Krishnamachari takes to us to Bilbao, Spain, where we explore the radical transformation of the city.
