NIF Global Indore’s Winning ConceptsThe third-year interior design students, Vinjal Jain, Taha Kapadwala, Swastik Kesarwani, and Anya Jain, won the first prize in the commercial category with their concept “Pratibimb,” which aimed to design an office promoting art and artists, showcasing the country’s heritage. The project presented everything from cave paintings to modern digital art in a contemporary way.
The second-year interior design students, Anant Chouksey, Ayush Yadav, Mubesera Khan, and Ummekulsum Bhopalwala, secured first prize in the West Zone Residential category with their concept “Akai-ito,” a Japanese term meaning “red thread,” based on the East Asian belief that an invisible, unbreakable thread connects emotions and relationships between people.
