Jay Vijay Upadhyaya
Jay draws inspiration from new experiences, stories and human connections, often placing emotion and narrative at the heart of his work. His practice is shaped by experience across luxury automotive design, jewellery and trend research. His work brings together an appreciation for Indian design heritage with the precision of European design approaches. Across projects, he explores material, form and sensory experience while examining how contemporary ideas of luxury can evolve through sustainability, craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
