Vikram Goyal Studio & Viya's Home Design Showcase in Chennai

Vikram Goyal Studio and Viya are proud to announce their first-ever joint showcase in Chennai, marking a significant new chapter for both design houses.

From Sept 22 to 25, this four-day exhibition at The Folly-Amethyst, is co-hosted by Preethi Krishna, Ranvir Shah, Sharan Apparao, Soumya Keshavan, Vikram Phadke and Vikram Goyal. This immersive presentation brings together for the first time the complete creative universe of Vikram Goyal Studio and Viya.

Visitors will experience an expansive display of limited-edition furniture and sculptural objects from Vikram Goyal Studio alongside Viya’s vibrant, narrative-rich homeware and lifestyle collections.

The exhibition also marks Vikram Goyal’s debut in Chennai — a city the designer has long admired for its cultural sophistication and aesthetic heritage. “This is a landmark moment for us — not just our first public showcase in Chennai but the first time we’re unveiling the full spectrum of our creative vision in a single space,” shares Vikram Goyal. “To have both Vikram Goyal Studio and Viya shown side by side is to celebrate craft, storytelling, and beauty at every scale of living.”

At the heart of the exhibition are the Deity wall panels - Balaji, Hanumanji, each a dramatic sculptural statement that exemplifies the studio’s mastery of repoussé — an ancient technique of hand-hammered metalwork. Historically used in temple architecture across India, repoussé is reimagined at the studio through fluid forms and classical themes. Months of collaborative craftsmanship between designer and artisan culminate in each piece, where tradition meets innovation through material and method.

Another highlight is The Dreamscape coffee table - a whimsical coffee table inspired by the 17th-century Rajput manuscript, “The Book of Dreams.” This piece brings to life symbolic motifs laden with auspicious blessings, from the powerful Gajaraja, Elephant King, and mythical Gajasimha, Elephant Lion, to the auspicious tree full of winged parrots and majestic Blackbuck antelope. Created using repoussé and pietra dura inlay techniques, the piece incorporates semi-precious stones to enhance its sculptural dynamism.

From furniture and lighting to trays, vases, and cushions, each Viya piece is designed to infuse joy, meaning, and craftsmanship into everyday living.
