This June, the heart of Mumbai will beat to a new rhythm of design. Design POV, taking place from June 27–29, 2025, at the iconic Jio World Convention Centre, is poised to become a cultural landmark event for India’s design ecosystem, a dynamic convergence of architecture, interior innovation, visual art, and material craft. Design POV is not merely a showcase. It is the place to be for India’s design intelligentsia, a living dialogue between thought and form, concept and creation. Presented by Tabu and Elite Building Materials (EBM) with Design Partner, Birla Opus Paints, and conceptualized and executed by Totality Solutions, this year’s theme “Echoes of Tomorrow.”
At the center of the spectacle lies The Core, a curated experience where 19 of India’s leading design studios embark on a journey of exploration to reimagine spaces, products, and experiences that envision the future while staying rooted in the cultural traditions and practices of the past. Each of these studios will be given an 800 sq ft blank space to showcase their masterpieces. The theme for this year, “Echoes of Tomorrow,” is a powerful invitation for each studio to project their vision of the future, expressed through materiality, form, and storytelling.

“For me, this is completely experimental, and that’s what excites everyone. It’s the first time someone is doing something truly out of the box. We’re exploring new materials, new concepts, things that haven’t been done before,” said Sumessh Menon of Sumessh Menon Associates
The event is brought to life with the support of luxury material and product brands like Wriver, Colosseum, Swamy Marmo, Sunroof, Hybec, and Embellish, brands whose creations enable the participating studios to craft spaces that embody the spirit of The Core.
