The Lifestyle Accessory Design (LAD) M.Des programme educates and trains<br />

professional designers to visualize and create lifestyle accessories and systems<br />

using different materials, processes and technologies.<br />

It relates to people’s way of living and the products they interact with, which<br />

form an important basis of their day-to-day lives. The programme draws from<br />

indigenous contexts and their socio-cultural values, beliefs, practices, cultural<br />

diversity and knowledge, which have contemporary applications in a global<br />

context. It delves into perception and trend studies of diverse dynamics that<br />

influence the lifestyles of consumers from various strata of the society.<br />

The designers from this programme aspire to drive the market by ‘Designing for<br />

Changing Needs’ and ‘Designing for Future Needs’, and make ‘Designed in India’<br />

a premier global brand. Focusing on personal and space accessories and products,<br />

it offers a strong multi-disciplinary edge wherein the students get an opportunity<br />

to work in a wide spectrum of domains such as jewellery, watches, bags, luggage,<br />

footwear, lighting, furniture, space accessories and interior objects, trend<br />

research and colours, materials and trims for consumer products and automobile<br />

interiors. The students are encouraged to build emotive connect and conceptual<br />

experiences for the consumers through the products they create.<br />

Studying a craft gives an ethnographic understanding of a particular culture or<br />

community which inspires designers to conceive sustainable as well as sustaining<br />

designs which are relatable.<br />
