Different Strokes: When Cheer Is Found in Form, Not Just Hue

Different Strokes: When Cheer Is Found in Form, Not Just Hue

In the Vogue Living spread “Different Strokes,” four distinctive pieces from Iqrup + Ritz quietly reframed what it means to add joy to a home. Cheer, it argues, need not arrive in wild color—sometimes it lives in rhythm, materiality, and silhouette.

The Chandigarh 2.1 Shelf stands as a modular ode to mid-century sensibility, its brass-framed teak juntas dancing between solids and voids, allowing interiors to breathe while declaring architectural presence. The Chloe Dining Table, crafted from solid Acacia wood, carries handcrafted tactility in its every grain—inviting conviviality, grounding rooms with quiet warmth. The Dalhousie Slipper Chair, part of Vogue’s curation, embodies a juxtaposition: refined posture with a whisper of relaxed tradition. The Cybill Lamp glows as an artisan’s gesture. Handmade and hand-glazed in a family workshop near Beijing.

But Vogue didn’t just show; it spoke. Under “Office,” Ritika Dhamija, co-founder of Iqrup + Ritz, laid out her blueprint for a “Vogue-approved workspace.” She framed her ethos in restraint: “A happy office is one that is creative, peaceful and uncluttered.” Her chosen palette—blue with red highlights—avoided overwhelming contrast, favoring uplift over distraction. A window-facing desk, Diptyque candles, Nappa Dori stationery, a Nespresso machine, and a sprinkling of plants complete her vision of a space that works and breathes.

Together, these features in Vogue tell a story beyond product: they speak of interiors that balance function, poetry, and personality. Joy isn’t loud—it’s composed.
