Feature Overview

As part of “The Hot List – Perfect Ending”, the editorial presents a selection of bookends designed to elevate the experience of organising and displaying books.

Featured here are the ID Bookends by Mukul Goyal, a design that reflects his signature vocabulary—minimal, sculptural, and subtly expressive. The form transforms a purely functional object into a refined visual element within a study or living space.

The feature highlights their availability at Rio Grande, one of India’s well-known design retail stores at the time. This reinforces not only the design value of the product but also its placement within curated retail environments and its accessibility to a design-conscious audience.

Within the composition (central lower section of the page), the bookends are positioned alongside a mix of global and Indian objects—placing them within a broader international design context while maintaining their distinct identity.

Authority & Recognition

Mukul Goyal’s work has been consistently featured across leading design publications and stocked in prominent retail destinations such as Rio Grande. His ability to design objects that are both functional and sculptural allows his work to integrate seamlessly into everyday environments while retaining a strong design identity.
