D/code 2018
India’s first curated Art + Design fair, D/code is a luxury initiative from The Times Group in collaboration with architect and curator Ashiesh Shah. Presented by Home & Design TRENDS, it is the best platform for the finest architectural and design talent to be showcased under one roof. To celebrate design that is globally enriched and infused with our very own traditions and heritage, is the key objective of D/code. It is the start of a global design revolution.
Honoring the ‘Make in India’ initiative, D/code is bringing homegrown designers and brands to the centre stage. The fair will provide global access to both artisanal and contemporary Indian design practices. Across a two-day luxury expo, D/code will take through the best of design amid the brilliant panel of various Indian designers.
“D/code hopes to demystify the strength of design in India and shine the international spotlight on Mumbai as the go-to art and design destination in the region.”, says Ar. Ashiesh Shah, curator, D/code.
