Colour Feature by JSW Paints and Joanna Bodzek

In an exciting collaboration between our Presenting Partner, JSW Paints and visual artist Joanna Bodzek, All I know is how I feel will offer visitors to Design Mumbai an exhilarating colour experience. Of the one-of-a-kind design feature, Bodzek says, “Life as we know it is shifting, evolving in ways we can’t yet see. The future feels uncertain, wrapped in mist… Amidst wars and an unpredictable economy, life itself is in transition. All we can truly hold on to is how we feel.” Teasing the experiential space, Bodzek adds, “there is power in pink, in its ability to transform space, to hold memories, to nurture a sense of belonging.”

Look out for furniture and accessories from Objectry, Jaipur Rugs, Fusion Access, Loco Design and VitrA…
