Tattva Art Hardware Featured in Inside Outside Magazine’s “Metal Magic” Issue

In the June 2005 issue of Inside Outside Magazine, renowned Indian product designer Mukul Goyal and his pioneering work in designer architectural hardware, luxury curtain accessories, and sculptural metal home décor were featured in an article titled Metal Magic. The feature positioned Tattva Art Hardware as one of the early Indian brands redefining the category of premium decorative hardware through artistic expression, handcrafted detailing, and contemporary Indian design.

The article documented Mukul Goyal’s educational journey from IIT Kanpur to NID Ahmedabad, followed by advanced studies at Domus Academy, Milan, highlighting how this strong design foundation shaped his approach to modern Indian product design and functional metal art.

Mukul Goyal’s Distinctive Approach to Artistic Metal Design

Inside Outside Magazine described Mukul Goyal as a designer deeply fascinated by the possibilities of metal and material innovation. Before establishing his signature identity in luxury brass hardware and designer home accessories, he explored multiple mediums including leather, plastic, ceramic, and glass.

The publication noted that Mukul Goyal’s work stood apart because it combined:

  • Handcrafted brass craftsmanship with modern industrial processes 
  • Contemporary sculptural aesthetics with practical usability 
  • Traditional Indian artistic sensibilities with global design thinking 
  • Decorative storytelling with everyday functionality 

This philosophy became the foundation of Tattva Art Hardware, helping the brand create a unique space within India’s emerging luxury architectural hardware and designer curtain accessories market.

Tattva Curtain Accessories & Sculptural Hardware Highlighted in the Feature

The Metal Magic article prominently showcased several early Tattva Curtain Accessories and decorative brass hardware designs that reflected Mukul Goyal’s playful yet refined design language. The featured products included:

  • Designer curtain finials inspired by birds, flowers, and abstract forms 
  • Sculptural brass curtain rods and curtain accessories 
  • Artistic metal bookends and contemporary tabletop objects 
  • Handcrafted decorative accessories for modern interiors 
  • Functional yet artistic luxury home décor accessories 
  • Sculptural metal objects merging utility with collectible design 

The feature highlighted how Tattva Art Hardware transformed everyday hardware into artistic conversation pieces, bringing a fresh design-led perspective to premium home accessories and architectural décor products in India.

Tattva Art Hardware Helped Define Designer Hardware in India

At a time when the Indian market had limited exposure to designer hardware brands, Inside Outside Magazine recognised Tattva’s work for introducing originality, craftsmanship, and artistic sophistication into the category. The article acknowledged the brand’s role in elevating decorative curtain hardware, luxury brass accessories, and designer home hardware into lifestyle and design statements rather than purely functional products.

The publication also mentioned Mukul Goyal’s design enterprise, Designwise India Pvt. Ltd., which was simultaneously building a domestic identity for Tattva Art Hardware while exporting Indian metal homeware and handcrafted design products internationally.

Mukul Goyal’s Expanding Influence in Indian Product & Furniture Design

Alongside Tattva Art Hardware, the article also referenced Mukul Goyal’s growing body of work across categories including:

  • Designer jewellery 
  • Contemporary lighting and lamps 
  • Artistic furniture 
  • Decorative home accessories 
  • Sculptural installations 
  • Handcrafted metal objects 
  • Modern lifestyle products 

This multidisciplinary design practice later established Mukul Goyal as one of the recognisable names in contemporary Indian design, known for creating products that blur the boundary between functional objects and collectible art.

Legacy of the “Metal Magic” Feature

The June 2005 Inside Outside Magazine feature remains an important early recognition of both Mukul Goyal’s artistic vision and Tattva Art Hardware’s contribution to Indian design culture. The article captured a formative period when Indian consumers and architects were beginning to appreciate luxury architectural hardware, designer curtain accessories, and handcrafted brass décor as integral elements of sophisticated interior design
