A while back Valay
Gada of Cobalt Designs reached out to me and invited me over to his studio for
a cup of coffee and a chat about his work. Unfortunately I haven’t made it over
to his studio as yet, but one look at their website & I fell in love with
his studio’s work.
Founded in 2012, Cobalt Designs is
a partnership between two young designers, Valay Gada & Michael Rodrigues. The studio works primarily in metal alloys like brass
and copper. The pair is inspired by classical traditions and they are
deeply passionate about preserving the tradition of Indian craftsmanship, bringing them relevance and adapting them to the modern aesthetic. They do
this by engaging and working with local artisans and nurturing local talent.
Their product
range is spread over a wide range of categories, from luxury furniture, lighting, bath
accessories, mirrors, hardware and some costume jewelry too. They also work with
architects and interior designers on customized pieces such as jalis and murals.
Their work is
contemporary and edgy with an emphasis on a high level of finishing and is
inspired by industrial design, Art Deco and traditional Indian crafts.
Here's a peek at some of their works...
