Mumbai 18th September 2024: AD (Architectural Digest) is excited to announce AD DISCOVERIES as a part of the AD Design Show 2024 line up—a special curation of 40+ designers across design, homes, sculpture, lighting, textiles and furniture. The AD Design Show is set to take place between 20-22 September at Dome SVP Stadium, Worli in Mumbai.

For the first time, AD presents a special curation of 40+ designers across furniture, textiles, sculpture, lighting, ceramics and more. The intent of this pavilion is to spotlight independent makers, artistic practices, promising new names, all shown alongside one-off, limited-edition pieces by established architects and designers. Editorially curated with the support of an advisory board comprising Khushnu Panthaki Hoof, Samir Wadekar, Prateek and Priyanka Raja, Arun Shekar and Mohammed Afnan of Humming Tree, Rajiv Saini, Nisha Mathew Ghosh along with Interior styling of the pavilion by Samir Wadekar, AD Discoveries is a glimpse of the diverse and versatile design talent of India.

“The speciality of the AD Design Show is that it brings a diverse set of people together. We have previously created an AD Museum that curated a short history of design in India. The Lal Dera last year — inspired by a mughal tent— was based on a narrative of textiles. Our constant endeavour is to bring diversity to design. This year’s AD Discoveries section is essentially to encourage such diversity. Designers, makers, artists, small independent brands as well as leading architects with a one-off furniture piece, this pavilion is for them.” – Komal Sharma, Head of Editorial Content, AD India
