Shakti Design Residency

The Shakti Design Residency showcase new work from its inaugural programme for the first time.

The installation features a diverse group of objects conceived by five emerging global designers in collaboration with some of India’s most skilled ateliers and mentored by a panel of world-leading creatives. The exhibition at Alcova’s historic Villa Bagatti is part of a first-of-its-kind initiative set to build new bridges between Indian heritage artisanship and the international design world.

Founded by interior designer, art and design collector and philanthropist Shalini Misra, the Shakti Design Residency is a first-of-its-kind initiative intended to develop new symbiotic relationships between Indian craftsmanship and the global design world. The first residency is organised in partnership with Jesse Lee, founder of digital retail platform basic.space and chairman of Design Miami.

Five global designers have been selected from an open call for submissions by an international jury of world-leading design and creative mentors.
