Iram Sultan is known for her wide range of designs including everything from interior design to commercial and more. One of the binding forces among her peers, Iram has come to be known as one of the thought leaders of the Indian design industry today. Inspite of this, she shies away from the spotlight and prefers to work behind the scenes curating, plotting and ideating on design concepts with her team and fellow professionals from the industry…be it on design, art, or both. In her most honest words, here, she lays down all the cards to give us an unfiltered look into the world of design.
REASONS FOR BEING…
I am an eternal student. Everyday is a new day. New spaces, new people, new materials. My endeavour is to keep my mind open, and I hope I can learn from everyone I meet. One of the best parts of this design profession is the exposure you get to multiple methods of thinking about the same thing. What I can do with a space or a material, and what my friends and colleagues (not to mentions heroes) from the industry can do with the same can produce hugely varying results. And all of this essentially boils down to details.
To an outsider, ours may seem like a madhouse, but there is a method to the madness. With each project, we consciously try to do something different, through a gesture, detail or play of material. – Iram Sultan, Interior Designer
