January 14, 2025 | Hyderabad - A setting becomes immersive and intimate when contemporary design is woven with Indian sensibilities through materiality, geometry, and crafted detail. It is within this
interplay that the instincts of Apoorva Shroff, Founder of Lyth Design, and Praça Prazeres find their voice at Palate by Design. Their parallel journeys surface in ‘Curious Contemporary’ with Apoorva’s Indian-rooted modernity meeting Praça Prazeres’ coeval expression of Goan cuisine.
“Curious Contemporary is about materiality expressed with intent. The space explores how materials, form, and proportion can feel familiar yet exploratory, creating an environment that invites discovery rather than declaration.”
— Apoorva Shroff
Founder, Lyth Design
The pop-up by Apoorva and Praça Prazeres features luxury furniture by AKFD Studio and Iqrup and Ritz, contemporary artworks by Dhi Artspace and Kalakriti Art Gallery, accessories by Topp Brass, Anantaya Decor, The Decor Circle and Nicobar, tableware by vVyom by Shuchita, cushions by Shades of India, sculptural lights by Klove Studio and AUX Home, handcrafted carpets by Jaipur Rugs, high-end wallpapers by Ellemento, plywood and flooring by Mikasa Floors, planters by Grow with Love, and curtains by Embelliish.
