Reinforcing Local Crafts
molding lifestyles through design
aboutus
Driven by the philosophy that any design solution-
city, building, space or product must be sculpted to conform and address all requirements from the specified to the unstated; mold approaches each project as a unique challenge.
​
We strive to consistently deliver high quality standards driven by strong design, rigorous processes and extensive collective dialogue. Our approach to every project is utilitarian while being modest with a key emphasis on the establishing an integral relationship of the Built with nature and context.
mold’s design philosophy is that all objects, from large cities, spaces to products can be sculpted and molded, as per the needs and requirements of the users.
An integrated approach is adopted to achieve a blend of programmatic requirements/ideas together with traditional ideologies, craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics.
​
Culture
An integral relationship of the Built with nature and context.
User as a Focus
Working with the principle of the user being the most significant aspect of any design exercise, each project is a unique challenge, and hence, a result of an in-depth design process that involves the user.
Craft
Through our projects, we explore and innovate with traditional prototypes, blending them with contemporary techniques and technology to conceive pragmatic design that fits well within the multi-cultural design agenda, with sustainability at the roots.
Customised solutions
An in-depth design process coupled with structured involvement of the client and consultants results in optimized dynamic solutions.
