The ‘India Pavilion’ is all set to showcase at the London
Design Festival 2013 with a small, rich talent base of grassroots
innovators, furniture designers and fine artists…
Where design and design
sensibilities were once location specific, openness to innovation, irrespective
of cultural, religious and geographic boundaries, has drawn the vast realm of
design into a focused, accessible space. Designers from various parts of the
world are striving to propagate their designs across borders.
In such a scenario of growth,
India’s digital magazine on Lifestyle, Art & Design – Indiaartndesign.com
from Mumbai, India, is proud to announce its association with Designersblock, an established
exhibitor at London Design Festival 2013 to co-host a pavilion for artists and
designers from India.
Drawing from our cultural
roots and methodologies, the National Innovation Foundation – India, makes an
international presence with Mitticool earthenware – refrigerator and pans by
Mansukhbhai
Prajapati, a traditional clay craftsman from Rajkot, and Champaran-based Mohammad
Rozadeen’s pressure cooker coffee-maker, which is based on the simple principle
of harnessing steam from the pressure cooker.
A
group of fine artists from Pradarshak, the smallest known gallery of
contemporary art in India, make their debut amid the large international
turnout, showcasing a few of their choice paintings.

Complementing this scenario are a few furniture designers, whose strength is ‘seating solutions’ with each one distinct from the other.
This
group of 12 participants bring with them the ethos of the exemplar Indian
spirit of standing up to the world with their ubiquitous creative streak.
Being hosted at the renowned Southbank Centre from
Sept.18 to Sept.22, 2013 as part of the London Design Festival 2013, theexhibition is only the first attempt
of India Art n Design ezine towards showcasing upcoming Indian designers in the
international arena. The promoters aim to foster such endeavours spreading the
essence of Indian Art & Design.
