THINK! Design

THINK! Design is a full-service design and creative solutions consultancy, working in the design space since 2006. The work spans large-scale installations to smaller, bespoke work in the brand strategy space. As a part of Universal Media Group, the consultancy started with projects associated with the Indian interiors trade fair Index Fairs and has been involved in design curations for this large international fair. This has ranged from façade design to curation and execution of design installations for the prestigious Index Design Boulevard.

THINK! Design is headed by Sylvia Khan, who has been a leader in the Indian design field with several ‘first-of-its-kind’ design initiatives and collaborations and has been instrumental in spreading Indian design to several cities in Europe and the Far East. The vision of the company is to create platforms for inclusive design, open to all, rather than creating ‘design niches’ which are only for the elite. The driving inspiration while being a passion for design itself, is the awareness of the all-pervasive nature of design as an entity.
