OPEN CALL: INDIA

Deadline 8 March 2025

Adorno invites designers, makers, and studios from India to apply for our upcoming campaign, Design Destination: India, curated by Kamna Malik.

Selected participants will get a chance to join Adorno’s global network and gain the opportunity to showcase their work in a curated collection that highlights India’s contemporary design landscape. With an extensive background in design curation, media, and strategic brand consultancy, Kamna Malik has played a pivotal role in shaping India’s creative industries. As the former Editor of ELLE India and Curator of India Design ID, she has championed innovative design dialogues and elevated Indian design onto the global stage. Through her agency, krsp, she continues to bridge international perspectives with India’s rich creative heritage, fostering cross-cultural collaborations that push the boundaries of material and form.

Adorno’s Design Destination: India will spotlight designers who redefine craftsmanship, experiment with materials, and contribute to the evolving narrative of Indian design. This is your chance to be part of a curated platform that connects independent designers with a global audience. The collection will launch in May 2025, and applications are now open until March 8.

Thank you for your interest in joining Adorno! In case you didn't know, Adorno is not just another e-commerce platform. We work as a gallery where we through close collaboration support our members with promotion, press coverage, advice, exhibitions, sales, and shipping. We showcase unique or limited-edition contemporary design & functional art, spanning the fields of furniture, textiles, lighting, ceramics, sculpture, and wearables. We only work with independent designers, studios, and crafts artists creating objects that are contemporary in style, experimental in approach, and exceptional in material quality. If you can relate to this we might be a great fit for each other!

The membership gives equal access to our services and international client base and is charged on a monthly basis with a fixed low commission on sales. Our members are typically introduced to Adorno through referrals, our in-house curation team, or our international network of curators. Makers who have not been invited are welcome to introduce themselves here to be vetted for inclusion. We receive many applications and can’t guarantee acceptance. Please allow 2-4 weeks for our curators to review your application.
