Indian design is in a moment of transformation—a shift that is bold yet thoughtful, grounded yet boundary-breaking. The Livingetc NOW Awards is here to spotlight this exciting evolution. We're championing creativity and innovation, offering a platform to showcase the most inspiring architects and interior designers redefining how we live, work, and dream.
Design is as much about aesthetics, as its about impact. The spaces we inhabit shape our moods, influence our daily experiences, and set the tone for how we connect with the world around us. From clever layouts and thoughtful materials to tactile details that linger, every choice matters.
At the heart of this philosophy, the Livingetc NOW Awards presents four uniquely curated categories: NOW Interiors, NOW Initiatives, NOW Plus, and NOW Icons. Each is a celebration of spaces, ideas, and people pushing the boundaries of design today.
IT'S HERE.
