This was very thoughtful - an award for providing a service to the Design Industry! In fact, I was very impressed by the thoughtfulness behind all the TIA award categories this year. The TIA Awards Ceremony was held on the morning of April 21 during the 2nd World Industrial Design Conference at Liangzhu, Hangzhou (China). Almost a thousand industrial designers from China and about 100 from 50 other countries attended the Conference. Over 5,000 entries from 30 countries were submitted for the TIA (Top Innovation Award); the WIDC organizing committee conducted a four stage evaluation including reviews, expert reviews, reassessment and final expert reviews.

As a designer working in the craft sector, Margaret Zinyu is helping to resurrect the traditional art of loin loom weaving in her home state of Nagaland How did you discover your passion for textiles? MZ: Coming from a small town, Kohima in Nagaland, I was exposed to a lot of rich tribal culture and nature. As a child I was obsessed with materials from my surroundings and played with all kinds of different mediums, from sweet wrappers to dry colored leaves and flowers. I used to make small knickknacks which I proudly gave away as gifts. When I finished school, I decided to enroll for a pattern and tailoring course before I joined junior college. Then I moved to Bangalore, and decided to pursue an Interior Design
diploma while I was doing my BA. It was very time consuming but I stayed the course. By the final year, I was ready to pursue Interior Design, when I remembered a brochure I had picked up from a trade fair a couple of years before – it featured some beautiful furniture. That was my introduction to the National Institute of Design. The time was right – I secured admission and my exploration continued at NID. It was really a journey of sorts – I started with all sort of materials as a kid, then went on to tailoring, and interior design (I love doing the upholstery and furniture). I thought I would do Industrial Design at NID, especially Furniture, only to

What sparked your interest in design? NM: Born in New Delhi in a Gujarati household, I had a very happy and exciting childhood, where my brother and I always had a voice of our own. At 17, I moved out to pursue my passion for design and then kept going from there. I was grateful for the fact I could choose what I wanted, do what I wanted, and be encouraged and appreciated for it by family and friends. After acquiring a degree in Accessory Design from NIFT in Gandhinagar, I moved to Mumbai to work, gradually falling in love with my life in that city. I worked as a jewelry designer for nine years, with seven very interesting and satisfying years in Tanishq. It was towards the end of that I had some sort of realization that I didn’t want to continue doing that. Something more was calling me. 42 POOL #93
