It was a nice update on some contemporary designers:
Naotsu Fukasawa: A recluse who designs everything from hi-tech gadgets to toasters and plates, through his company Plusminuszero. His designs follow Louis Sullivan's dictum, "form follows function" -
His objects don't simply take up space; they don't shout and scream for attention. They simply recline in soft repose and wait for you to discover them...Take for instance his sole bag - a large bag with a canvas shoe-sole bottom that makes it perfect for resting flat on the ground.
Neil Foley in Bangalore - the 'Jellyfish Light'
Lokus Design, Pune and its sleek furniture for Jindal Steel.
Design Direction, Pune for award winning medical equipment, as well as bio-degradable sandals called. "Solemates".
And Kerala's Kumbham range designed by K.B. Jinan, a social activist and designer who is helping revive the traditional terracotta craft.
