TAD proudly presents GEN BOLD III, capturing the pulse of India’s Interior Design landscape. More than a celebration of bold design, it strives to make a statement that encourages creativity and courage. Featuring interior designers who unapologetically push against the tide of trends, rewrite rules, and embrace their voice.

Boldness takes many forms, loud, extravagant, and maximal. But it also reveals itself in quieter, more deliberate ways, through deeply intentional choices that speak volumes without shouting. The boldness of these designers here is layered, from reviving Indian crafts in modern spaces to innovating with technology. Their stories reflect not only professional triumphs but also a personal journey of becoming bold in the face of doubt. Moreover, this collection is a mirror of the moment we are in.

A moment where India’s interior design scene is no longer waiting to be discovered. Through this new wave of commanding design, they bridge gaps between heritage and futurism, past and possibility. As you flip through these pages, we invite you to engage with boldness. As a way of thinking, living, and designing with intent. To question, to experiment, to design spaces that hold space for what matters. It challenges us to create spaces not just for style, but for soul. Spaces that breathe with those who inhabit them. Spaces that hold space for identity, sustainability, joy, and above all, a sense of belonging. The future is not waiting. It’s already here, and it looks brilliantly bold. This is GEN BOLD.
