Speaking to Jaaved Jaaferi at his home in Bandra as he revisits his memories of the city like rivulets in sand, one can’t help but imagine a young boy adjusting to his journey in Bombay. “I’ve been a Bandra boy all my life; I was here for 40 years,’’ Jaaved shares endearingly. He adds, “I lived in my first home, where I was born, for 15 years, and then a few years at my second home, before moving to a house with my children in Lokhandwala’’. A short walk down memory lane conjures up echoes of his first home with eggshell walls, curved edges, and rough corners—a Mediterranean redolence.

Another thing Jaaved, Meezaan, and Alaviaa confirm is the need of the hour for their family is a dining table. An obvious addition that finds itself often unused in most homes of young families plagued by social media and OTT. “I think [now] everyone sits on the dining table and eats, and it's taking away a bad habit of everyone eating in their rooms,’’ Meezaan comments. A sleek onyx slab supported by two large wooden logs finds itself placed in this area, along with plush upholstered chairs. Kush and Jaaved Jaaferi collaborated with Name Place Animal Thing to craft bespoke sculptural fabric pendent lamps that catch your eye.
