This design commission was Gupta's firm Studio Wrap's first restaurant. Two years in the making—Gupta's style is evident, and her signature Potli motif can be seen on the bar stools here.“We approached the whole project like a sculpture,” says Gupta. In Chennai, A2 has found its niche.
While many designers would claim to be forward-looking, one New Delhi-based designer looks avidly to the past. With her unique design studio, Gunjan Gupta, seeks out the best in traditional art and craft techniques to recreate them in a contemporary medium. Gupta says she has always been fascinated with traditional handicrafts and India’s rich design heritage.
Wrap Art & Design and its founder, Gunjan Gupta, belong to a space that, marries ideas, trends and themes and craftsmen from different segments. The upshot of this fusion is bespoke furniture made in India in internationally-relevant themes, according to Gupta. Wrap looks to revive and invigorate India’s traditional crafts, positioning them at the heart of the contemporary home.
