Feature Overview

The feature presents Mukul Goyal’s insights on evolving design directions, emphasising that meaningful trends are not superficial or seasonal, but rooted in deeper shifts in material sensibilities and user experience. He outlines key directions for the future, including:

A move towards visual lightness and conceptual transparency across
materials
A renewed focus on traditional materials such as leather and wood,
reinterpreted for contemporary use
An increased emphasis on the tactile experience of objects—touch, texture,
and material authenticity

The feature reflects his belief that design is an ongoing exploration rather than a
fixed outcome—where materials, processes, and user interaction continuously
evolve.

This perspective positions his work within a larger discourse on design thinking—where the focus shifts from mere form-making to experience, material honesty, and emotional connection.
