THE ART OF EMOTIVE DESIGN

The design world, as we know it, often teeters between the extremes of tradition and modernity. But, there exists a rare visionary who dances effortlessly on this tightrope, weaving a web of innovation that's as rooted in cultural heritage as it is forward-thinking. Enter Vritima Wadhwa, the alchemist behind Project 810, who doesn't just create spaces and objects—she crafts experiences that challenge our perceptions and redefine our relationship with the environment around us. Imagine a realm where furniture breathes with life, where interiors whisper stories of centuries past while boldly stepping into the future, and where every curve, texture, and shadow is a deliberate brushstroke on the canvas of human experience. This is the world Vritima Wadhwa has been sculpting since 2013-14, a world where the boundaries between art, functionality, and emotion blur into a seamless continuum of design excellence.

As we peer into the mind of one of India's most sought-after design mavens— a name that resonates in the ateliers of fashion icons like Rahul Mishra and Anamika Khanna—we're compelled to ask: What is this science that transforms mere spaces into sanctuaries of the soul? How does one distill the essence of contemporary India into forms that speak a global language? And perhaps most intriguingly, how does Vritima consistently manage to stay several steps ahead in a field where innovation is the only constant? Prepare to embark on a journey that transcends the conventional notions of interior and product design. This is not just an interview; it's an exploration of a philosophy that's reshaping the very fabric of Indian aesthetics, one groundbreaking project at a time. Welcome to the world of Vritima Wadhwa and Project 810 – where every design is a revolution, and every space is a revelation.
