Each piece in Gauran’s home collection pays homage to the unparalleled skill of the artisans he has collaborated with over the years.

Gauran’s Vision: A homage to India’s handicraft heritage
At ‘Gauran Home’, Gauran takes on the role of interior conceptualization and offers interior design services from concept to finish, transforming living spaces into an expression of tradition and authenticity. “I’ve always been fascinated by the power of handmade objects, their ability to connect past and present,” Gauran says. “Every piece in the NEEL collection tells the story of not just the craft but the artisans who made it,” Gauran said while previewing his design thinking through NEEL. It’s what makes it really special and infuses it with tradition and a personal touch.”
Through this venture, Gauran aims to realize his famous design philosophy and provide homes that are elegant and deeply rooted in tradition.
Gauran’s dedication to preserving and promoting India’s handloom tradition is evident in each piece. His focus on eco-friendly materials, natural dyes and traditional techniques makes the collection resonate with eco-conscious consumers who appreciate artisanal luxury.
What sets Gauran’s collection apart is its attention to artistry in imperfection. Each hand-woven or handmade piece may have slight variations, such as misaligned stitches or irregular brushstrokes, but these nuances reflect the mood at the time of creation and the artisan’s itinerary, making each piece unique. We make each item unique.
