Nata in Iran ma cresciuta tra gli Stati Uniti e l'Europa (in Germania e Francia), dove ha studiato architettura, grafica e designer, India Mahdavi è considerata tra i dieci più influenti interiors designer contemporanei.
Ha firmato hotel, cinema, ristoranti, caffè con uno stile molto personale che nasce da un'attitudine a mescolare, incrociare, talvolta osare, e come lei stessa ha affermato "confondere le acque".
I suoi progetti realizzano luoghi confortevoli, avvolgenti, ricchi di colore, luoghi in cui, con il suo lavoro, cerca di "portare il sole".
A volte dimostra di avere anche uno spiccato "sense of humor" come al "Germain" di Saint Germain des Prés a Parigi, dove tra i tavoli pone un enorme manichino giallo di donna.
La donna, come Alice nel paese delle Meraviglie sembra aver bevuto una pozione che, facendola crescere in maniera spropositata, le ha fatto rompere il soffitto, tanto da farla irrompere al piano superiore.
Eclectic India
Born in Iran but raised between the United States and Europe (Germany and France), where he studied architecture, graphic and designer, India Mahdavi is considered one of the ten most influential contemporary interiors designers.
He signed hotels, cinemas, restaurants, cafes with a very personal style that stems from an attitude to mix, sometimes daring, and as she herself said, "muddying the waters".
His projects undertake places comfortable, enveloping, rich in color, places where, with his work, he tries to "bring the sun."
Sometimes it also proves to have a strong "sense of humor" as to the "Germain" the Saint Germain des Prés in Paris, where between the tables poses a huge dummy yellow woman.
The woman, like Alice in Wonderland seems to have drank a potion that made it grow out of proportion, he did break the ceiling, enough to make her break into the top floor.
