About: Design X Design Exhibition – 3 : 20under35
The exhibition component of Design X Design involves showcasing the work of Delhi based designers to facilitate a reading of emerging trends across various design based creative industries in the city.
Is Indian design recognizable? Is there a vision guiding it? Can tradition and modernity, continuity and change co-exist in it? Is it culturally relevant? Questions such as these are more alive today than ever before. One sure way of gaining an insight into this and more is by looking at the work of young upcoming designers. ‘Design X Design Exhibition: 20under35’ attempts to do just that by sharing the design philosophies, working methods and future aspirations of the twenty shortlisted designers under the age of thirty-five.
