WHAT DESIGN IDEOLOGIES DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT YOU THINK MIGHT DEFINE THIS YEAR ?
For me the most exciting part of the architectural and design journey post the covid scenario has been the dependency on the “ Make in India ” initiative . Every new scenario makes way for a different opportunity for innovation through reflection and I feel that the whole idea of homogenous localized material play was the design scheme that played the biggest role for us . From a simple Indian brick to a granite design to different temperature colors to different patterns in different regions of the country created so many avenues to deal in for us as a design firm , that we feel that the internal dependency forced us to think in the most innovative way we could have ever thought as well as make the whole process , cost and time effective as well as one step closer to lessening the carbon footprint activity .

For 2022 , we will most likely address how the pandemic has affected our lives . Basically a focus on personalization of spaces and how they can have a positive impact on us as we spend longer time at home . This can manifest through colour , material and connection with nature . As work from home has become a norm , people seek connection to the outdoors and dedicated spaces for work and relaxation .
Studio Renesa has always believed in rejuvenating the old with the new . The unique amalgamation of the old with the new through the two different generations creates a different dimension to the projects , their materiality , their definition and its experience . With the design world shifting to redefine the lines , the only two ways are to either go ahead and innovate or go back in time and reinvent the themes . The beauty lies in the everlasting impression of the classic old design themes and gestures which have stood the test of time and still work with the upcoming trends and waves of new design . For us this season has been about reinventing with materials via terrazzo and terracotta bricks , which has given our work a more different dimension and surprised us with its impact on the end users . The simplicity of the old charm creates such a sophisticated and elegant impact as a designer and an end user that the need to move two steps back in order to move ten steps ahead has become a definite try out in the given scenario .

From 2000-2010 everyone used to copy the west , it was a trend of that time . As the lifestyles of people have evolved over the years , there is a demand for personalized spaces that combine classic and vintage styles with a touch of modern . So basically we are keen to work on fusion styles where older design styles are adopted with a modern aesthetic . We also believe in upcycling and
restoration-- refurbishing old furniture and décor elements with a touch of modern upholstery , colour scheme or design .
