The Story Behind the Crimson Red Nizam Napkin

At Bloc à Main, design is not just about beauty—it’s about storytelling. For the Crimson Red Nizam Border Table Napkin, founders Deepa & Rhythm, the mother-daughter duo behind the brand, were inspired by their love for Indian royal textiles and ceremonial dining traditions.

The Nizam border pays homage to the legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad, known for their opulent courts, refined taste in fabrics, and cultural patronage. Their textiles often featured rich colors and delicate borders woven with precision—a blend of Persian influence and Indian artistry. Deepa & Rhythm reinterpreted this design into a simplified, contemporary border motif, perfect for today’s homes but rooted in regal history.

Crimson Red was intentionally chosen for its symbolism in Indian culture. Red is the color of auspiciousness, energy, and life force. It represents weddings, festivals, and sacred ceremonies. The red thread is tied in blessings; red sindoor marks marital vows. It is the color of tradition, passion, and beginnings.

By introducing the Crimson Red Nizam Napkin into your tablescape, you’re not just setting the table—you’re invoking centuries of ritual, celebration, and hospitality.
