Re-inventing the idea of a Poster bed
Poster beds have been a staple of bedroom furniture for centuries. They are a timeless classic that exudes elegance and sophistication. However, as time goes on, we continue to seek new ways to incorporate technology into our lives, even in the most unexpected places. What if we could reinvent the poster bed to incorporate modern technology and functionality, while still maintaining its traditional charm?
This is where the idea of reinventing a poster bed comes in. This unique piece of furniture takes the classic poster bed and adds a touch of magic with built-in lighting and rotating posts that create a mystical ambiance. The dimmable light allows you to adjust the brightness to your liking, while the rotating posts create a sense of enchantment as they rotate. It's a truly immersive experience that brings the magic of Harry Potter to life in your own bedroom. It combines modern technology with classic design to create a bed that is not only functional but also a statement piece in any bedroom.
Inspiration
Being a fan of wizarding worlds, I have always wanted to experience the magic of the Hogwarts castle in my own bedroom. Imagine curling up in your bed, surrounded by a soft glow that mimics the flickering of candles, while the posts rotate to create the illusion of moving staircases and secret passages.
Why?
Adjustable lighting that replaces artificial daylight devices and bedlights.
Design details creating multiple storage options.
Upward lighting avoiding glare on display screens
Additional to the features of traditional poster beds like: Vertical posts supporting canopy / drapery, which provides privacy and warmth. Can evoke a range of moods, from romantic and ornate to sleek and modern. Acts as a visual barrier providing a sense of comfort and security while sleeping.
Fiber optics and its scope
High light transmission with minimal signal loss
Low heat generation making them safe to use
Lightweight and flexible for use
Immunity to electromagnetic interference
High durability and resistance to environmental factors
Limitations
From something this intricate to this minimal
Fiber optic cables are more expensive than traditional electrical wiring, which can increase the cost of creating a glowing neckpiece.
Fiber optic cables can be fragile and prone to breaking if bent too much, which can make them less suitable for neckpieces that are subject to frequent movement or wear. This can also limit the design options for the neckpiece.
Fiber optic cables require power to operate the light source, which can be a challenge where power consumption is a concern.

Making Operation
I have taken PCB from a Wi-fi controllable LED strip adapter for its working through mobile application
Then, connecting it to an LED strip I have provided Wi-fi controllable light source for the design
For the necklace part, I have made punctures in a transparent 7mm PVC tube to expose fiber optic cable endings
Atlast I have made a light box to contain and direct light to the cable endings

Tangerine: A Recipe app
This mobile application was designed as part of a 7-day design challenge conducted by IFP (India Film Project) season 12. Problem statement goes like:
You are selected by a company that has an app for collecting recipes of world cuisines. The app hasn't been updated in a while, so you're being asked to add four useful features that will make it more marketable. You can also rebrand it with a cool name.
A design challenge can feel both exciting and intimidating at the same time. It can be exhilarating to have the opportunity to flex your creative muscles and create something new. However, it can also feel daunting to come up with fresh ideas and execute them effectively within a short period of time. It is an opportunity to grow as a designer and push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

Thesis: Re-designing a Railway station
Railway stations are always unique in terms of their role, location, services and use with millions of users every single day. Towns and cities are often developed around them. A station can give an image to the town or city and act as a civic amenity for people who want to use the station facilities even if they are just visitors as well. If a station is well designed, it results in a successful rail network which supports economy, society and environment. Also, their effective integration with other modes of transport and the surrounding area can make it more appealing. Stations were never a priority to be developed, to be made world-class when compared to other buildings like metro stations and airports. Hence, I wish to put forth a design that could stand as a reference model for the next era of railway stations.
