The TRENDS Design Special celebrates design across disciplines. In a special Perspective feature, design maven Bhupal Ramnathkar curates a list of architects and designs that boast of an individual identity in the design world. To get a more holistic perspective of design, TRENDS speaks to French designer Inga Sempe, ZZ Architects, Nirav Meswani of Surprise Home Linen, Saurabh Mittal of Ivanka Lumiere and Suman Kanodia & Ashish Bajoria of Scarlet Splendour. Architect Rajesh Patel takes us to Paris and his visit to the Fondation Louis Vuitton. We also venture into Werner Aisslinger's House of Wonders, which looks at futuristic design in homes. Additionally, we cover innovative design exhibitions, events, concepts and art in Mumbai, Paris, London, Washington and Portugal.
