Useful Art at Design Korea Exhibition, Seoul


G20 Best Design is an exhibition of good design products from 14 countries of the G20 member states. The exhibition is a global festival for outstanding designs held in celebration of the G20 Summit in Korea. 400 pieces of work from 14 countries that represented a common language of mankind as well as valuable cultural assets that must be preserved were exhibited.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to India Design Council for noticing my humble efforts in design and giving me the honor of displaying my works at the event in Seoul.

Sweet Heart - Lover's Chair



Love blooms when two hearts meet. A chair for two...a desire so honest... to be expressed un-selfconsciously.
Sweet Heart is the manifestation of my imagination of a piece of furniture that makes a poetic connection between design and simple gestures in human relationships – like caressing your loved one. A couple can sit together, on top of each others lap. Adjust to a comfortable seat height and lock – unlock the tilt.
The chair’s silhouette just happens to be indicative of the heart shape, the most common and most widely recognized symbol of love.

The chair has been prototyped by my loving wife/co-designer Suhasini Paul.


Colors : Fantasy White | Lusty Red | Lazy Green

Clip wins Red Dot Award : Design Concept 2010



Clip is an attempt to re-define a mundane object to breathe in fresh thoughts in the field of design for mass manufacturing: evoking ecological awareness and accountability. Realizing today’s and foreseeing tomorrow’s scenario, it was felt that howsoever people talk about eco-sensitivity, consumption of plastic house-wares would still be quite large enough to deplete our natural resources. One way to reduce consumption is to facilitate prolonged life of the same product. Improved longevity of Clip confronts the challenges of waste reduction and supports a productive economy by conserving the embodied energy that was originally used to manufacture it.

Would like to thank Suhasini Paul, my wife and Jim Allard, my email friend for helping me out in refining my Yellow Clip! Both of them have been my best critic. :)

Blindfold* wins OPUS Design Award'09 | Japan






Dare to bare out-of-doors?
See-through blindfold is inspired from the silk/satin love laces which have ruled the boudoir while you try blindfolding your partner to heighten the pleasures of imagination through adult fantasy play.
This time: Peeking is allowed!
I propose a fashion glare which tries to capture the sensuousness of satin folds - the smooth silky flow and the deceptive transparency of lace. It gives a feeling to the onlooker that you are blindfolded and titillates his senses, running him wild.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best features:
1) Lusty - bring the excitement out-of-doors!
2) Stylish – flaunt your oomph factor!
3) Deceptive –feels like the beholder is blindfolded!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blindfold is proposed to be made in photochromic polycarbonate.
A floral print is embedded into the surface layer of the material in a uniform thickness of up to 150 µm. Upon exposure to UV radiation in day light floral patterns become visible, otherwise invisible.

The floral pattern darkens substantially in response to UV light in less than one minute, and then continues to darken very slightly over the next fifteen minutes. It fades back to clear once moved indoors. It is tinted with exotic colors in the bleached state.

Blindfold* is an unique toy for adult fantasy play suited for romance out-of-doors!
