Innovative Switches and Accessories

GM Modular Pvt. Ltd. is a high quality electrical and electronic equipment manufacturer in India. I was approached way back in 2004 by one of the directors to design and develop a range of switches and accessories. The underlined objective was “consumer insight driven product innovation”.

Over 70 products/accessories were designed for them, which were launched in phases in India. 

The products are today available all across the country. May be you would have one of those in your home too! Read more >>

Form finds Function

Finding usefulness in destruction...a cracked glass...(or may be a broken heart in the subconscious) inspired me to create FRAChair! [frak-cher]

Mr.Chair - 'Active' Electrostatic Chair

A curious four legged piece of 'active' electrostatic furniture for kids and adults who hate to grow up!

The 3 attributes I choose to demonstrate were the imagination of a painter, curiosity of a scientist and the enigma of a magician. All of which were found to be as aspirations when asked to children about their future professions.

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.

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. :)
