The design scene in India is fascinating. It presents an interesting cornucopia of innovation and tradition. While the Indian consumers and designers are rooted in the nation’s rich cultural past, they are seamlessly weaving modern aesthetics and global design. Design Mumbai aims at harnessing this interesting transition in India. The design event led by United Kingdom-based event organising magnate Angus Montgomery Group is the first contemporary design show in India with a global orientation and exhibitor presence, showcasing leading brands, manufacturers and designers.
Led by industry experts, the three co-founders of Design Mumbai are Ian Rudge, Michael Dynan and Piyush Suri who, between them, have helped launch shows such as 100% Design, Design Shanghai and Handmade in Britain. Bringing together over sixty years of combined experience, this dynamic team is looking to enhance the design calendar as we know it, curating over 150 brands and designers within India’s design capital and spanning multiple categories from furniture to lighting, kitchens, bathrooms and workplace interiors. People, products and concepts, Design Mumbai promises to bring the best from the world of design to India.
Here’s why you should mark your calendars now…
