"It all started with my love for tableware,” recalls New Delhi-based multidisciplinary artist and chef Eeshaan Kashyap. “I always wanted to design something unusual—Indian but without gaindas and gulaabs, peacocks, tigers and parrots. I wanted to form my own vocabulary that would be abstract with imperfectly perfect brushstrokes.”
As a trained chef, he has played an integral part in launching and branding award-winning boutique restaurants across the country. Now a sought after food and design consultant within the burgeoning landscape of the hospitality industry, Kashyap transforms restaurants, bars, weddings and curated events. His first show, comprising mixed media tableware at Vayu in New Delhi’s Bikaner House in 2021, drew “phenomenal sales, and it was a hit! I started to learn how retail really works. Everyone’s always excited to see something new and unusual.”
