Where is Home?
I visited a house that belonged to a Punjabi household in Delhi from 1991 ( no one lives here anymore) to investigate the residential interior design from the 90s. Some of the questions I had were -How does design affect our idea of home? Does the familiar create comfort? Is there a sense of belonging in objects, visuals, materials? Design from the 90s gives me that sense of belonging. I can revisit the simpler times through these wooden pieces of furniture and details. Visual documentation allows me to hold onto a time.Some design features that caught my attention were the striking metal grills on doors and windows with geometric patterns, a wooden showcase for decoration, objects and things, discrete storage spaces, multi-colored terrazzo, foldable glass doors.
