Farrago Design

It’s that time of the year again.

New York Design week.
So many colors, ideas, faces, conversations, and beautiful things to take in.

You walk in thinking you will see everything in one day.
You never can so we might have some more reels. #

Can an architecture and design film festival reach all your senses ?

That’s what ADFF:STIR did in Mumbai this year!

I went thinking it would be a few days of good films but it ended up being an event where you leave with fresh references and a lot of ideas swirling. The screenings were inspiring and educational, from film around Charles and Ray to Dior. And the format kept it from feeling like you’re just sitting and watching. There were monologues, conversations, music performances. It was all encompassing.

But the best part for me was the Jaguar pavilions.

Ten design teams curated by Aric Chen created ten different pavilion concepts. Different materials, different architectural moves, different stories. I kept thinking, “Mumbai needs more of this.” Not to mention the music performance by Aashna Gupta and Hidayat Husain khan.

I hope ADFF:STIR keeps growing and comes back even bigger.

In the studio we call these our mini hat boxes.
Round bone inlay boxes , off white, made to stack or sit on their own.

They are simple pieces that keep small things in place. Rings at the end of the day. A watch you reach for every morning. Cleansing stones or little objects you like to keep close. The pattern is subtle, the colour soft, so they sit easily with whatever else you live with. With the holidays coming up, this is the kind of gift we like to give. Something made carefully by hand that can stay out all year and feel like part of the home.
