Last October, Adeline Graham’s love for Chennai, and her passion and commitment to interior design, marked her return to the city from Scotland. She stocked her new furniture and design store, Fern & Ade, with Scandinavian, French and European designs, integrating classic and contemporary styles with Parisian chic. The curated collection of high-end furniture, lighting and accessories effortlessly showcased the European home styling sensibilities of the brand.
“I love India; the country has been so welcoming. The colours, culture, food and people — everything speaks to me. While I cannot claim to be a true Indophile, as there is still much more for me to explore and understand, I am fortunate to experience facets of life here through my Indian friends,” says Graham, when asked why India matters to her. Having visited Chennai over the past six years as Brand Director on a previous assignment, she explains how two years ago, she left her corporate life and took the plunge into her present role.
