EDITION ONE | 2006 Divya launches a witty and whimsical product line for Design Temple. Rooted in the -isms of India, the concept and interpretation are unheard of in design retail - and receive accolades both within the country and internationally. With this inaugural line, Design Temple becomes one of the early pioneers of India inspired products.
Founded by Divya, Design Temple was one of the first studios to adapt the potential of graphic design to an assortment of everyday accessories - opening up a market that was otherwise focused on fashion, interiors and other traditional avenues
This not only contributed to creating a new category but changed the perception of ‘design in India’ at large; making it more approachable to wide audiences in terms of price points and concepts.
Through this endeavour, Design Temple authored a new design vocabulary that resonated with contemporary India
Design Temple is rapidly gaining western recognition for a small but growing collection that contemporises India’s wit and idiom.” – Nicole Swengley, Financial Times UK
