#OnTheCover "Architectural spaces are very planar in approach, and they are very volume-oriented, and they have certain composition, and I treat that modern canvas as a very neutral backdrop to do the magic of multiple styles," reveals our September cover star Shantanu Garg @shantanugargdesign, in conversation with our editor Seema Sreedharan! ⁠ ⁠ A dynamic designer and thinker, Shantanu has tapped into art, history, ethnography and technology, toyed with techniques and styles, crafted iconic spaces, and created modern heirlooms. As a curator, his vision has redefined the design exhibition space in India. We spent time with Shantanu at his studio in Jaipur, his hometown, and now an emerging creative hub. The studio is evocative of his persona—where the design narrative is as strong as the design. He takes us through his studio with the ardor of a storyteller, the gusto of a performer. ⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in our bio to read excerpts from his interview!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Director, Editorial and Brand Solutions: Sonal Das @sonaldas1 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Editor & Cover story interview by: Seema Sreedharan @seemasree1912 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Portrait shots by Ankush Maria @ankush_maria ⁠ Project images by Fabien Charuau @studio_charuau
