If you head to Le Mill, the concept store in Masjid Bunder, this week, you’ll see the future. At least that of design and sustainable technology.

Designer Asheish Shah, who will curate an interior exhibit with Bijoy Jain and Rajiv Saini as part of the India Design Week, prefers calling it an artiste’s laboratory. “We’ve involved design students and professionals from across the country to create something out of the ordinary. The focus of the exhibit is on creating excellent designs and sustainable prototypes. For instance, a young student has used audio tapes for warp and weft. A Bangalore-based artiste uses electronic junk to make music amplifiers. The products are edgy, futuristic and responsibly designed,” says Shah.
