The word nascent means something new, and that’s what interior designer Aishwarya Jain set out to achieve when she launched her homewares line. While earning a master’s degree in Florence, Italy, she gained an appreciation for the flair and elegance that the renaissance city has to offer. Today, her small design studio hews to a muted palette, but there is nothing basic or minimal about the Nascent’s handmade goods. Pillows are fringed and beaded, throws are shaggy, coasters are terrazzo (hello, Italy), and glass candleholders are tinted an alluring pastel. They are the kind of pieces that make a statement, while settling effortlessly into any modern home.
