In our Design Issue we focus on a very important and relevant thought and question - ‘What is the future of design’ In order to answer that question we have interacted with stalwarts of the design world starting from the gargantuan figure Dame Zaha Hadid to architects Rahul Mehrotra, Romi Khosla, Anne Feenstra, interior designer Pronit Nath, creative agency and genius V. Sunil. Each of these authorities have deconstructed their practices and shared where design is headed. Moving away from the designers, the issue features filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap and his very colorful, romantic comedy, Besharam. We interview artist Atul Dodiya, who shares his journey and what it takes to be the first ever solo exhibit at the NGMA. Ranveer Singh shares his quirks, inspirations and thought process and many others creative personalities and debutantes are featured for their brilliant talent and vision.
