​PALAK KUMAR 

I grew up under the Indian sun, surrounded by my mother’s collection of vintage books and objects, each one carrying its own quiet weight and memory.  I learned early that objects hold stories; the worn leather of a book, the gentle heft of a paper stack, or softened edges of a well-loved object, the sense of history in everyday materials often sparks resonance in unexpected ways. I aim to channel this tactile curiosity into my design practice an exploring the seemingly mundane to reveal layered stories embedded in the physical world.
