AD : STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS TWO YEAR PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
FARAH & DHAVAL : The pandamic totally changed the design perception . Focus shall be on bigger spacious daylit rooms , more balconies and extra open spaces for fresh air and sunlight to seap in . Space for plants and rooms to house the plethora of junk associated with little children is a must .
AD : WHAT
DESIGN IDEOLOGIES YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT YOU THINK MIGHT DEFINE THIS YEAR ?
FARAH & DHAVAL : Simple clean fuss free spaces . I think the pandemic has taught us to hoard less and be more minimal .
AD : 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 ?
FARAH & DHAVAL : We ’ re already seeing a trend of chubby furniture which we feel will really explode this year . Rounded cylindrical legs vs straight right angles , on chairs , consoles , and bed . Oxymoronic as it may sounds , a sort of stubby yet elegant composition with furniture pieces is making a big comeback and while one may feel these are excessive large , they are quite minimal and sleek . Invisible Collection , Studio Twenty Seven , Secolo have some of these and in India Koy , Pinakin and and Josmo .
