Picture a child with a sweet tooth, let loose in a candy store. That's exactly how visitors felt when they walked into this new design show. One that proved to be perfect for those dreaming of building their dream home or simply seeking a dose of design inspiration. Late June, just as monsoon tiptoed across the city's rooftops, Design POV introduced a new world with flair at Mumbai's Jio World Convention Centre. This immersive showcase, curated by Totality Solutions and powered by Tabu, Elite Building Materials, and Birla Opus, Aditya Birla Group (design partner), brought together some of the country's most exciting architects, designers, and homeware brands for a weekend that was equal parts style and substance. At the centre of it all was The Core—a dedicated space where 18 leading studios came together to reimagine future-forward design through a rich cultural and material lens. This was where design dialogue reached its peak.
