Chandigarh-based furniture designer Rohil Gupta recently debuted his collection at SaloneSatellite, a prestigious platform for emerging designers during Milan Design Week. His presented works, including the "Aatra" chair and "Patthar" table, draw inspiration from traditional Indian crafts and materials. Gupta reinterprets these elements with a contemporary lens, resulting in pieces that blend heritage and modern aesthetics. His "Aatra" chair, crafted from teak wood and woven cane, references the charpai, a traditional Indian daybed, while the "Patthar" table explores the contrast between rough, natural stone and sleek, metal elements. This showcase marks Gupta's entry onto the international design stage.

Roozhad Shroff's new furniture collection showcases a delicate balance between traditional Indian craftsmanship and contemporary design. The pieces, which include chairs, tables, and screens, feature intricate geometric patterns created using thin strips of wood and metal. Inspired by architectural elements and traditional joinery techniques, Shroff reinterprets these influences with a modern sensibility, resulting in visually lightweight yet structurally robust forms. The collection emphasizes the natural beauty of materials like teak, rosewood, and brass, further enhanced by the play of light and shadow through the openwork designs.
