WHAT DESIGN IDEOLOGIES DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT YOU THINK MIGHT DEFINE THIS YEAR ?
The design ideology of planning spaces is of utmost importance . Every project must show thoughtfulness and the specific requirements of its user . The goal of space planning should be to create efficiency . Another important aspect is the quality of the space . This is affected by the materials , fabrics and finishes one uses . Color themes and finishes that are neutral and easy on the eyes with sophisticated schemes will define spaces and make it more accepting to the eye .

WHAT DESIGN IDEOLOGIES DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT YOU THINK MIGHT DEFINE THIS YEAR ?
Typically we would be going towards the idea of having come out of Covid and its constraints . We would be looking at how there could be more fluidity in designs . The concept of spaces doubling up for other functions or spaces that are multifunctional is what we would be working towards going forward .
There are many facets to experiment with , when it comes to reviving old age design . Any thoughtfully
designed interior space can take inspiration from art galleries , museums and other mid- century styles . Focus towards greater refinement , delicacy , symmetry of form and excellence of proportions is something that makes the interior spaces charming . Great heights in interior spaces that have taken inspiration from neoclassical architecture change the scale of the spaces . Furniture inspiration like sofas with curved backs and a skirted base can be used in common areas . Wainscoting design in passages and rooms scale down the heights of a space to a more human level with minimal design and intricate detailing which take inspiration from classic panelings .
GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIVE THE OLD-GOLDEN DAYS OF DESIGN , WHAT SPECIFIC DESIGN ELEMENTS YOU THINK HAVE A SHOT IN MAKING STRONG COMEBACK TODAY ?
More than sticking to particular style that has a comeback , I think time has come for us to bring craftsmen and artwork of local indigenous communities to the forefront . There are many ways in which the traditional crafts of India can be infused into the contemporary design language . We must give them a bigger role in the design narrative than just a token of inclusion . I will be more conscious of about this and work on such collaborations in the office .
