Mueller Bhavan. A rel- atively new entrant to the lo- cality \u2013 inaugurated in October 2008 \u2013 Good Earth is for the discerning few looking for statement pieces when it comes to home d\u00e9cor, the din- ner table or the bath. Already a well-established brand in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, Good Earth here is housed in an old bungalow converted in- to a two-\ufb02oor shopping space by Good Earth partner Soumya Keshavan.

Bamboomashals (\ufb01re torch- es), iron lanterns embedded with stained glass, and cush- ioned sofas \ufb01ll up most part of the verandah. The care that went into this space is a sort of tribute to Verandah, Good Earth\u2019s \ufb02agship interiors and garden space store in New Del- hi, explains Soumya.

Inside, several objects vie for attention \u2013 from the brick-red wood TV console and all-mir- ror centre table to the wrought iron chandelier, the pair of horseshoe-shaped chairs and the Marga sofa. The Marga so- fa, especially, is capable of in- ducing extreme laziness.

\u201cEvery week we have a new favourite,\u201d Soumya says. The aforementioned TV console enjoys the honour at present.

The tableware section hous- es dinner sets bearing several of Good Earth classic motifs

like Mirchi (which is as old as Good Earth), Raw Mango, Ritz, Venice, Khyber, White Linen, Indus River (\u201ca hit with ex- pats\u201d), Rasa (a \u201cvery South In- dian\u201d

As Soumya tells you, \u201cGood Earth is more about the best of Indian designs reinterpreted in contemporary style.\u201d

There\u2019s also a closet bar and all the accompanying glass- ware and bar tools. Brands like Eisch and Riedel are stocked too.

The bath and body works section explains the delicious smell wafting through the en- tire place. From aromatherapy candles, oils and incense to buckwheat pillows and bath linen, everything\u2019s here.

The cushion room, bed linen room and children\u2019s room also come up with very interesting articles \u2013 old black-and-white photos digitally printed on cushions, four-post beds with wooden net screens, exquisite linen and silk bed covers, et al. Clothes and accessories are on the anvil.

and home linen, Good Earth is
