HOW I DESIGNED MY FIRST ICONIC BEST SELLER PRODUCT.

The story of how the modern bulb holder came into existence in 2005 and disrupted the electrical industry. Designed by Industrial Designer PAUL SANDIP an NID Alumni in 2005, the product was manufactured by GM Modular Pvt. Ltd. It was an instant hit in the Indian market. It is the fastest selling bulb holder which has been adopted by more than 200 manufacturers. Till 2020 the approximate number of bulb holders sold are estimated to upto 5400 Million... and still counting! #designedbypaul #ADW2020 www.paulstudio.in

Love for Geometry

Geometry being a branch of mathematics, did not attract me much in school. Hence, the thought of becoming a geometer actually never did cross my mind.

For the past 10 years of my design practise I have been dabbling with various "form factors" to address several "product styling" challenges while unifying "form and function". Geometric forms came across as a breath of fresh air this time while working on a tableware design project. Designed with utmost precision of a multi-fold octagonal vertex geometry, this Chip 'n Dip Serving Platter is a dazzling piece of art in food grade polymer, to adorn your center table.

When the product got mass produced and launched in the Indian market in April 2015...I just fell in love with Geometry!

Innovative Ice Tray

Ice 'Drop' TrayThe common problem with regular ice trays was that they had to be twisted to pop out the ice cubes and after some time the tray gets unstable at the base causing spillage when kept inside the freezer. Water expands in solid state and this was the reason why the ice cubes get stuck within the walls of the tray due to lateral and normal adhesion. We wanted to use the scientific phenomenon of expansion to our advantage by nullifying the effect of adhesion. The WOW factor is that the new "ice drops" detach themselves when completely frozen. A signal that it is ready for consumption!

Orion Nebula

It is a diffused mood lamp which creates a celestial night sky feel with its Break-resistant Poly-carbonate shell and embedded LED light.

The special effect is created due to multiple refraction of light though the cut-glass style of surface texture embossed over the multicolored lamp shades.

It is the world's first and only Blind Positioning wireless charger. A minimal design married with the latest Qi technology gives you freedom from low battery blues. Qitah has a couple of configurations: a) one that holds the phone at an ergonomic 40-degree angle – best for office desk scenarios b) other when collapsed at a sensible 7 degrees for your night stand/side table or hotel room..

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”.

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. :)
