The first look came at India Design 2024. A few pieces, shown without full explanation. The asymmetric openings, the layered veneers, the unexpected proportions. People stopped and asked questions. That was enough.

IVAI made its proper debut at Design Democracy, shown in full for the first time. Wood, dyed veneers, stone, textured glass and metal, arranged so that nothing about the collection felt predictable. The response was immediate and warm.

For the launch, the Bangalore store was given a new logic. Curtains descended from the ceiling, remaking the space. A puzzle installation invited guests to slow down and engage. IVAI had always been about what lies beneath the surface, what opens, what conceals, what surprises. The evening was designed to feel exactly like that.
