Jazz is likely to be the most apt metaphor in relationship to Bijoy Jain’s work. Jazz is interactive and improvised. Jazz is freedom, storytelling, and a collaborative pursuit. Of course, it doesn’t have to be, but jazz is at its emotional best when played by a group of close musicians who are masters of their respective crafts.
Studio Mumbai is an architecture and interior practice based in Mumbai, India, Bijoy Jain founded the practice in 2005, which is a physical studio, but metaphysically may be more accurately described as a collective of craftsmen. In 2020, Bijoy Jain was awarded the 14th Alvar Aalto Medal, which is named after the Finnish architect Aalto. Designed by Aalto himself, the award was established in 1967 to recognize creative architectural work.
