    Chahat Lawania of Bhartiya Design Party | Designing with Purpose, Craft & Conviction

    What does it take to build a design practice that brings together creativity, craftsmanship, and the realities of execution? In this episode of Design Talk Podcast, host Prerna Kapoor sits down with Chahat Lawania, Founder of Bhartiya Design Party (BDP), for a conversation about her journey into design, the philosophy behind her practice, and the experiences that have shaped her approach to architecture and interiors. From growing up around handicrafts and fashion to studying at NIFT Delhi, Chahat’s journey reflects an understanding of design that goes beyond aesthetics. She shares why she chose the name Bhartiya Design Party, her vision of making good design more accessible, and why craftsmanship and quality control eventually led the firm to bring manufacturing in-house. The conversation explores some of BDP’s defining projects, including a jewellery store in Uttar Pradesh inspired by New York, the transformation of an 18,000 sq. ft. workspace in a 1932 building, and a resort renovation on Havelock Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Chahat also shares what goes into designing spaces that remain relevant for years: understanding how clients live, working with existing furniture and materials, making informed material choices, and planning for the realities of execution. In this episode, we discuss: • The story and philosophy behind Bhartiya Design Party• Chahat Lawania’s journey from NIFT Delhi to architecture and interior design• Why BDP established its own manufacturing unit• Repurposing existing materials and designing more sustainably• The challenges of executing projects in different locations• Understanding clients beyond their immediate design brief• How to choose the right architect or interior designer• Advice for aspiring designers entering the profession Whether you are an architect, interior designer, design student, or someone planning a space of your own, this conversation offers a closer look at the thinking and decisions behind the finished design.

    Does Good Design Always Mean Buying New? | Coming soon

    Not everything in a well-designed space needs to be new. Sometimes, an existing piece has something that a new purchase cannot replace: a memory, a personal connection, or years of use. The real question is whether it still belongs in the space, and how it can be given a new lease of life. In this conversation, Chahat Lawania shares his perspective on refurbishing, retaining and designing with what already exists. A fresh perspective on sustainability, memory and making thoughtful design decisions. 🎙️ From an upcoming episode of Design Talk Podcast with Prerna Kapoor. #DesignTalk #SustainableDesign #InteriorDesign #BhartiyaDesignParty #DesignThinking
