Live Interview with Veeram Shah, Founder, Design ni Dukaan, India

Veeram Shah grew up in Navsari, a small Parsi town in south Gujarat, which acts as a weekend office for the studio. His father being an avid collector and restorer of antiques, he grew up exposed to Indian antique furniture. He completed his Bachelors in Architecture from M.M.C.A., Pune. His sensitivity to design comes from his various travels to quaint old Indian Towns, where architecture is not born out of rational thought, rather out of social context and cultural needs. During college, he was introduced to the nuances of art, architecture, work ethics and philosophy by Ar. Girish Doshi. In the current context, where architecture offices are being run as corporate houses, Veeram believes in a concise and intimate office, where discussions and interactions become more meaningful and stimulating, regardless of the scale of the project. Veeram perceives design as fragments of collective experiences and observations from the mundane to the profound. His influences are never constant but unbiased, ranging from Gandhi, Raza, Kumar Gandharva to modernists such as Le Corbusier and Scarpa. Veeram is heading Design ni Dukaan for the past seven years taking projects of various scales from architecture and interior design to furniture. He is also a co-founder of P.O.D (Pieces of Desire) P.O.D. is an artisan-based design studio exploring a seamless transition between art and functional objects with a conscious attempt to promote locally made products.
