1. 1.Design

Architects and Interior designers were one of the most active participants of India Design Symposium. Bandana Jain, Ravish Vohra Home, Design Concept Creative Studio, Diviana among others are a few names who displayed their works. The modern chic style blended with contemporary elements, the design bent given to the furniture and interior products created spoke volumes about the creativity. Imagine having a circular wheel shaped book shelf with a 3-D appearing door, a low lying table made from metallic brass molded into the shape of a leaf, a human shaped armchair and the most remarkable of products with the most unusual designs of all time. Imagination and creativity was taken to some level that displayed the hunger to create something spectacular.
Indeed an inspiration for budding architects and designers.

From soft furnishings to fireplaces and from lightings to floorings, the Interiors section at India Design Symposium was gigantic and envy igniting. Nothing at display was average. It was way beyond time and perfection personified. Sarita Handa, Alsorg, A –Class Marble, Baaroq, Bird Fireplaces, Differniture and Housewarming were few names that catered to the whims and fancies of the visitors. The Interiors section provided a walkthrough of how home interiors can be done with ease and style. The India Design Symposium displayed a perfect application of technology in the design industry as it focused at innovation implementation to make it better.

Showcasing the AquaClean Technology applied on fabrics used in furniture making; Pret-Fab successfully established its position one notch above its counterparts. The brand proudly exhibited more than 40 designs and patterns of fabric in all colors for visitors to choose from.

3. 3.Décor

Often home decoration becomes a hassle for people who have less experience at it. However with the ready availability of décor articles, this has become the most interesting tasks for home makers.

Nothing at the India Design week was just average. It was a gold mine of everything spectacular. Given the brevity of the variety it offered, it was nothing short of an envy-igniting gathering that everyone wishes to be a part of. What made it even better was the presence of the influencers and prominent personalities from the industry that became the highlight of the event.
