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.
