Standing at the forefront of contemporary Indian design, New Delhi-based designer Vikram Goyal is renowned for his ability to weave India’s rich heritage into a modern, avant-garde visual language. Rooted in India’s historical and cultural narrative, Goyal's work draws inspiration from a wide range of artistic traditions, from the intricate Pichwai paintings and majestic Mughal architecture to the geometric elegance of Art Deco and the organic beauty of natural forms.

These influences, paired with his keen interest in global design culture, anchor his practice, which deftly balances a reverence for the past with an exploration of contemporary, sculptural abstraction. As Goyal himself explains,“Every object has the right to tell its story”, a philosophy that drives his creations and connects them to India's storied past.

Based in New Delhi, Vikram Goyal has spent two decades refining a contemporary design language within the international collectible design market. His work personifies the spirit and skill of artisanal techniques found in historic objects and translates the rich legacy of craft excellence from India into modern, timeless designs that resonate at home and abroad.

Drawing on the expertise of specialist artisans from across the country and a deep exploration of Indian metalwork traditions, Goyal designs limited-edition furniture and objects that celebrate material and form in abstract new ways. By diligently refining and re-inventing techniques that have been cultivated in the region for centuries, his work exudes a studied sophistication in Indian craft and conceptual and cultural narratives.

Goyal’s practice is defined by his deep respect for intergenerational craft techniques such as repoussé (his studio’s signature technique of hammering designs into metal from the reverse side), pietra dura, and hollowed joinery. His pieces—sculptural, tactile, and deeply expressive—are simultaneously in conversation with both past and present. Exhibiting globally, including at Milan’s Nilufar Gallery (where he was the first Indian designer to be showcased) and Future Perfect in Los Angeles, his work demonstrates an enduring commitment to craftsmanship while forging new possibilities for Indian design.
