“Architecture and product design integrate two worldviews that have informed our design
success”
Mozaic was set up in 2001, integrating different design approaches to
provide
holistic
services.
We love the creative process that goes into design, the burst of insight and
energy

recognition with the
urgency of climate change since 2012. He has conducted numerous workshops and seminars on
architecture, planning
and environment, with works and articles published in leading magazines in India and
abroad. With
his interest in collaborations, he has supported the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, Oxford

recipient of multiple awards. His strength today is in the hospitality industry, from boutique
hotels and jungle
lodges to 200+ room resorts. His current efforts are aimed at improving academic standards
across the country
through awareness of criteria that address environmental and social issues in architecture and
planning; all made
possible through workshops, master classes and his presence as a jury member on a large number
of award platforms.
Reboni Saha – Graduated in the field of Industrial Design in 1994 from National
Institute of
Design, Ahmedabad. She heads the product design section of Mozaic as co-founder, and believes
that a
blend of
architecture, interiors and industrial design set practical criteria for good design. This
informs
design at a more
holistic level and has been responsible for her successes, from fans to washers to lighting
systems.
Reboni helped set up the appliance design section of IFB Industries, while working with Crompton
Greaves Electricals
for their lighting and fan divisions. Her design experience has covered cabins and interiors for
Indian Railways
through Kineco Industries, capital goods such as blow molding machines for Sidel, hospitality
and
experience design
with Taj Hotels.
She has also leaned heavily into social design projects, having designed a moving school, areca
nut
leaf tableware
and wooden toys for local carpenter’s cooperatives.
Business World India magazine, Inside Outside, Index Furniture Journal as well as CNBC India,
