Next stop: ID Mumbai 2024—the inaugural edition of India’s most definitive design week in Maximum City. But while we arrive, our author wishes to take you exploring through the city, traversing new design activations, exclusive gourmet experiences, and more—all in collaboration with India Design ID. Our offsite programme, ID Satellite, is our way of spreading the joy of design & culture through the city that hosts us. India Design ID is a celebration of design, and this is our opportunity to expand out from the show and turn the entire city into an orbit of design. During this weeklong event, we spotlight every corner of the city, scout emergent designers and their craft, and delve into some of the finest culinary procurements and trends.

ID Mumbai 2024 sets off this Friday, and we are all in to spur buzz and excitement amongst the community. For ID Satellite 2024, our curator handpicks three tranches to indulge in the nation’s most definitive design week. The “Curator’s Pick” grants selective access to premium designs and walkthroughs, with the “Exclusive Bids & Design Explorations” providing limited opportunities for clientele to get their hands on bespoke pieces. Lastly, as every other party gets going with good food, we bring audiences a fine spread of gourmet experiences.
