Divya Thakur has led the creation of a contemporary Indian design identity. Based in Mumbai with a life and home in Colaba which reflect her textured Indian worldview, she is feisty, funny, bold and always thoughtful to speak with. She is a powerhouse of design thinking, product and practice and has had exhibitions and projects spanning the world of contemporary design./ Divya speaks with us about future dreams in forging a stronger professional voice and space outside of India; but also about her life's work in creating a contemporary Indian visual language, technology and design, continually adapting in design across the cerebral and the practical, India's connection to the Bauhaus and uncovering the forgotten history behind India's Chairs.
/ "I think my cultural crusade has been to use my skill sets as a designer to create a modern Indian visual vocabulary. This may sound simple but it hasn't been an easy journey - as we've all tended to look to the west.” /
