Known for her interior designs, Sussanne Khan marked the 10th anniversary of her brainchild, The Charcoal Project by unveiling her collaboration collection of premium bathroom suites and kitchen sinks with Sternhagen and Carysil — owned by the Acrysil Group. “Post the lockdown, people have begun valuing their home space,” says the designer.

Khan believes that people no longer design their homes only with the perspective to welcome outsiders. “Youngsters and older couples are now understanding the value of being with each other and themselves. They have realised how important it is to enjoy personal space at home,” she says, adding that people spend a larger amount of time in the kitchen and bathroom. “The kitchen is a soulful space for families to connect. I have a strong connection with my children in the kitchen, as we cook a lot of things [together]. Irrespective of the family you hail from, it’s important to connect during meals.”
