Vikram Goyal finds a Mumbai home at Nilaya Anthology
Known for his impeccable craftsmanship and larger-than-life brass collectibles, Goyal’s works find pride of place at the newly-opened Nilaya Anthology by Asian Paints store in Mumbai
Vikram Goyal, founder of Viya Design studio, has carved a niche for himself with his exploration of traditional Indian metalwork that he translates into contemporary collectible pieces in the form of furniture and objects. These limited-edition collections have found their way into galleries and exhibitions around the world, as well as in homes of his sought-after clientele. And now, Goyal’s works are on display at the newly-opened luxury design hub in Mumbai, Nilaya Anthology by Asian Paints. Over a quick chat, we asked him more about his process, collection on showcase, and his love for ancient, handcrafted techniques.
Beautiful Homes (BH): How did the collaboration with Nilaya Anthology happen?
Vikram Goyal (VG): Well, Pavitra Rajaram (creative director of the store) called me a couple of years ago and said, "We are doing this amazing space." And it was too exciting to be true, but here we are with this fantastic new design destination which is truly one of the most remarkable spaces I've seen, not just in India, but I think in the whole world.
BH: What collectibles are you showcasing here?
VG: So, we've got a gallery here alongside Nilufar, which represents our work in Europe. And for our debut at Nilaya Anthology, I decided to show different styles of our works. You have the repoussé, you have the hollowed joinery, and more—all our different styles from the very representational to the contemporary. You can see the Silken Passage console which has a flora and fauna design, to the more abstract and contemporary Thar console. All of the works and styles are handmade, but they're very different from each other. We wanted to show a whole cross-section of our work from the various design languages we have in our studio.
BH: Can you tell us more about your process of bringing these pieces to life?
VG: I'm not a trained designer. My intervention comes from having this workshop model, what they call the karkhana model, where we have artisans, designers, engineers and technicians, and we experiment with things all the time. We first come up with the design concept after a lot of research on what we want to showcase. Then we start sketching and create samples until we get it right. Because we have our own workshop, we are able to get our samples pretty instantaneously. Then we make miniature blocks of our designs and work on them until finally, we are ready to scale them up.
BH: You often showcase repoussé in your work. What draws you to it?
VG: Repoussé is my favourite technique because it allows me to bring to life all the things I enjoy from chinoiserie to Indian miniature paintings to conceptual, contemporary, abstract works. It's literally like drawing in metal and the whole art of repoussé is so complicated because you are beating into metal from the reverse and you never know what the final reveal will be until we are ready to pick up the sheet of metal from the bed of wax. For me it's the most sophisticated and complicated art form and that's been the focus of the studio for a while now.
BH: What would you like to tell customers coming to the store to see your collection?
VG: I want customers to see how we've used a legacy traditional Indian material (brass) and let artisans create contemporary, sculptural forms which are relevant in today's world. I want them to discover that this metalwork was something that existed in India for centuries, and see what we've done to revive it and create these new forms which find place in galleries internationally, and take great pride in it.
Vikram Goyal Studio has been creating collectible design objects with a focus on metal, particularly brass, as its primary material.
Goyal and his team of skilled craftspeople continually push the boundaries of traditional techniques.
Braque’s Geometry Wall Sconce features abstract, sculptural forms carefully crafted from beaten brass.
Goyal’s studio is known for its large-scale objects that display detailed and deeply-skilled processes of making.
The Love Seat Bench is made of brass in a patinated gold finish.
Goyal’s studio blends culture, materiality and tradition through its contemporary designs.
