Design Essentia Magazine - April - June 2025

Dans ce numéro

In this issue of DE INDIA, we celebrate this convergence—where design meets art, and function dances with form. Our DE Products section spotlights some of the most compelling examples of this global shift, from intimate spaces to grand showcases. We dive deep into the works of young visionary Indian studios and expand our gaze to the international stage, capturing the vibrancy of this trend as seen at this summer’s standout design events in London, Riyadh, and Copenhagen.
As a practicing architect once and now curator of this design platform since few years, I find myself both moved and invigorated by how designers today embrace this evolution. The rise of functional art feels deeply personal—reminding me why we began this journey with DE INDIA. This season, I was especially captivated by how art objects bring a quiet drama and a playful curiosity to a space.
In a world so often dominated by noise, design offers us a moment of clarity—an invitation to pause, feel, and reflect. I hope this issue inspires you to see your surroundings through a new lens, to discover beauty in the unexpected, and to always remain open to the transformative power of design. After all, the spaces we inhabit should not just serve us—they should speak to us.
Let’s Talk Design with DE. Happy Reading.
Cheers!!
