New Delhi [India], February 19, 2024: Anca proudly introduces its latest masterpiece, the Firefly Furniture Collection, a magnificent set created to add magic and charm to any area. Inspired by the mesmerising sparkle of fireflies, this collection embodies the fleeting beauty of moments, perfectly integrating natural beauty with modern design to create a sense of wonder in entertainment settings.ANCA will showcase its latest entertainment collection at India Design ID 12th Edition.



The Firefly Furniture Collection, fittingly named "Firefly - The Dance of Illumination," attempts to embody the essence of inspiration and brilliance that fireflies symbolize. Each beautifully crafted piece within the collection embodies elegance, utility, and a touch of enchantment.

In the dining area, guests are welcomed by a natural daylight ceiling with stained green oak paneling, creating an outdoor ambiance indoors. The dining table, ornamented with a pyrite top and a gunmetal-colored dining cabinet encrusted with green agate gems, acts as a sculptural centerpiece, while the experimental dining set allows guests to revel in culinary delights amidst fine settings.

The bar room, known as the Blue Bar Room, oozes refinement and appeal with smoked grey fluted walls, a graphite metal mosaic bar counter, and lit display pedestals embellished with blown glass accents. Hand-stitched barstools in blue faux crocodile leather and brushed tweed cloth lend luxury to the space.

In the living area, curved wall panels with marble incorporation create serenity, while the centerpiece beneath the Firefly chandelier exhibits three unique pieces, each featuring red tiger eye, acrylic sandwiched glass, or concentric marquetry veneer tops. Plush sofas upholstered in layers of crushed fabrics and aluminum lounge chairs offer comfort and style, making this room excellent for parties or leisure.

Anjali Goel, the founder of ANCA since 1985, remarked, "The Firefly Furniture Collection surpasses the realm of mere furniture; it's an immersive experience--an ode to moments drenched in the mesmerising glow of fireflies. With its flawless synthesis of contemporary design and natural attractiveness, this collection metamorphoses entertainment spaces into mesmerising realms, where every element adds to a memorable environment."

The film was shot during the pandemic, and Manoj stated that the team's optimism stayed strong even after the first shoot was halted three days into production.

Manoj looked great in a black tuxedo and matching jacket with a fur collar. The actor appeared on the Berlinale red carpet alongside The Fable's director Raam Reddy and cast members Deepak Dobriyal, Priyanka Bose, Tillotama Shome, and Hiral Sidhu. All of the cast members matched their attire with black.

"Stepping onto the red carpet at the Berlin International Film Festival, filled with pride and joy," the 54-year-old actor posted on Instagram, alongside a series of photos of his fellow cast members.



"I've been working on it with blood, sweat, and tears for quite some time. I've been in this small bubble; now I'm out in the world, and the film is going to be born. So I'm going to give birth to my child," director Raam Reddy's communique at BFF.
