The limitations of material, production and technology help create design opportunities, says Bikram Mittra. Here, he has taken a single laminated teak section and repeated it to create the woven pattern of the stool. The process is economical and offers a strong, inherently decorative structure.

I designed the concept of the Ecotile, which allows for pedestrian energy to be harnessed and used for lighting nearby street lamps. The Ecotile was given the award.

The Electric Stride
Ecotile Bikram Mittra

In a single day, approximately 1.5 million people pass through Nee York City’s Times Square. With each step, they’re applying a force that dissipates uselessly into the ground. Ideal for city sidewalks, subways or air-ports, the Ecotile would capture this otherwise wasted energy to generate electricity. Each time force is applied to a tile, pressurised piezoelectric material (between the surface and base plate) feeds a small amount of current to a storage battery, which is linked to hundreds or thousands of other tiles in the area. Collected power could be used to run nearby streetlights and traffic signals.

The Metascape Experience / Bikram Mittra / NID

"'Wow,' was my initial reaction," Henderson said of Metascape, a holograph-driven "future narrative museum" prototype designed by 2003 SDR winner Bikram Mittra as a "landscape of wisdom." Each of its spare, luminescent exhibition spaces is an experiential venue for examining fundamental questions of human existence. In "The Forest of Infinity," holographic trees connected to "seeds" constantly shift and are redrawn, evoking that perception is not absolute. In "The Corridors of Time," a straight platform brings visitors through a series of luminous frames that curve and straighten, suggesting different experiences of time travel at different places.

"Most science museums are not so high-tech - every one I've ever been to reminds me of a post office," Henderson said, admiring Metascape's shimmering OLED screen and glowing, Pompidou-like tube passage-ways. Carlos judged the renderings "incredible" but added, "It's in drawn form. Whether it actually gets built is another story." Maeda () described the project as "a cleaner version of Syd Maed" as well as a "vision piece of how things will look and feel in the future." It seemed to augur a bright future for Mittra as well. "When you have a student thinking this far out," Maeda said, "you know they have a career arc they can work toward. Not tomorrow or today, but far out."

Posted • We're digging up our archives to bring Bikram's awards and publishings to Instagram.

Bikram's student project envisioning the Kargil War Memorial won a 'Design Distinction' in the prestigious ID Student Design Review in 2003. The awards were brought together by American magazine, ID; The International Design Magazine.

Transcript:

For an exercise in an exhibition-design class, Bikram Mittra, a student at the National Institute in Ahmedabad, India, created an interactive memorial to honor the 474 Indian soldiers killed in the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan. Constrained only by size requirements - the design had to fit within 103 x 130 x 65-foot space - Mittra begian by isolating the concepts he wanted the memorial to convey and assigning a physical element to each: running water for purity, a burning flame for timelessness, and a soaring arch for glorification. The final arrangement incorporates the sacred Amar Jioti ("eternal flame"), which visitors stroke by lighting small candle-like flames that join the larger flame after rising through series of pipes. An arch equipped with self-adjusting steel louvers shields visitors from harsh sunlight. Photochromatic glass panes change colour according to the intensity of ambient light, creating a spectacular visual play." Its a strong spiritual statement that would speak to all humanity equally. It incorporates everything that a memorial should," Probst said.

Posted • Stilus 2016

The award winning Havells Stilus is probably one of the most innovative kitchen appliances brought to the Indian market in recent times. Designed by us at , Stilus revolutionises the format of a common kitchen tool - the Juicer Mixer Grinder.

The Stilus’s juicer unit sits on top of the mixer unit and is surrounded by a 360 degree pulp container (unlike the sideways configuration of traditional units) making pulp dispensing much easier to use and clean after use. The Stylus also incorporates a juice dispensing jar that makes juice collecting easy.

Our studies have shown that the Stilus takes up 33% less space than traditional units and is 2x faster to setup and clean.

In industrial design colours play a huge part in 'shaping' a product; in how contours, materials and finishes appear on the product. For the Platform Collection for we created products with a matt finish with a selection of colours that would not only complement stark forms but also create a graphic visual language in the contrast with the natural ashwood grain.

The products in the Platform Collection come in Black, Blue, Green, Red and Ivory White. We arrived at these colours in conjunction with the team at Daily Objects.

It’s the little things that matter as much as everything else, in design for manufacturing. The Striate Wooden Tray, made of polished ashwood, is made to declutter a work desk. The same design language was extended to the pull out tray for Mesa Monitor stand. The waves or indents in the tray hold stationery and other small objects in place. The organic, warm tone of the tray offset and complement the metal exterior of the Mesa Monitor Stand.

The Platform Collection for Daily Objects was developed to bring usability and design to the work desk.

The design language of the Platform Collection celebrates geometric minimalism along with soft corners. The use of coloured aluminium and natural ashwood brings tactility and expression to the range.

Pictured here is the Arete Laptop Stand angled for improved posture while working on a laptop. The leatherite layer on the base helps protect the gadget against scratching and also to dissipate heat.

I have been involved in the design of various products for . One such collection is the Platform Collection conceived and created to organise the desk space of a modern home or office. We have used powder coated aluminium in the collection's signature colours and graphic outer forms and have offset this with the natural grain of wood for its smaller parts.

Pictured here is Cirque Phone and Pen Stand.

We created a gift box for that would house both the journal and the affirmation cards.

We wanted the gift box to have use beyond just the act of gifting and acceptance of the present. So in keeping with the ethos of Tula Journey, we designed the box as a vertical stand to be used on a bedside or a desk, also saving space for the user. The box allows for a sense of privacy to the journal as it shelters it and creates a daily ritual, by opening and using of the contents of the box.
