With a design philosophy that celebrates the art of collaboration with people at the core of everything, Shabnam Gupta firmly puts people before design and function before form. It’s not surprising that her creations are a result of her deep understanding of the dynamics that design shares with people and the responsibility that comes with it. “I draw my inspirations from people, travel and different cultures. I enjoy not collecting pieces, but collecting memories. I think as you keep evolving in your work you kind of come to understand and accept what you really stand for,” Gupta explains.
Talking about being a ‘maximalist at heart’, Gupta isn’t unafraid to mix things up. “I think art is design and design is art, to a very large extent—it’s such a blurred line. I am someone who sees things more differently than others do so I am not limited in what I enjoy visually. I would like to believe that the future should be where art is accessible to everyone—and art is not limited only to acquired art,” she says. With an aim to create a project that showcases India in all her vibrant glory, Gupta shares that her dream project would be where a client is part of the vision, of being able to create a space which encompasses about colour, it’s about celebrating life everyday, about colours creating emotions,” she says.
