January 14, 2025 | Hyderabad - At Palate by Design, Gowri Adappa, Co-founder and Principal Architect at A Design Co., and The Table, led by Chef Louis Gomes, meet at a shared belief that spaces should
feel timeless and food should feel honest. 'Echoes from Elsewhere' is globally informed, yet deeply familiar, where spatial calm allows flavour to lead, and design stays just present enough to hold it.
“Rooted in material honesty and handmade processes, the space brings together diverse forms and textures that feel both grounded and worldly. Rather than replicating cultures or geographies, Echos from Elsewhere invites you to pause, observe, and discover how design can hold memory, how objects, like echoes, travel across places and time, settling into new contexts while retaining the soul of where they began.”
— Gowri Adappa
Co-founder and Principal Architect, A Design Co.

She brings her keen eye for meaningful and beautifully crafted designs to Palate by Design.
