The Third Space | Episode 2 ft. Bhavna Kakar of Latitude 28 & Take On Art

The Third Space | Episode 5 ft. Sourabh Gupta of Archohm

In this episode of The Third Space, we sit down with Sourabh Gupta, Founder and Principal Architect of Studio Archohm. A thinker as much as a practitioner, Sourabh’s work moves fluidly between architecture, urban systems, education, and the lived realities of people and cities. He reflects on how spaces are shaped not just by form, but by forces; time, movement, memory, and human behaviour. From the physics of light and circulation to the emotional weight of places we inhabit, the conversation unfolds beyond buildings and into the quieter territories of life, curiosity, and vision. We speak about contradiction, chaos, intuition, and the invisible decisions that define both architecture and living. About designing with restraint, embracing uncertainty, and allowing spaces, and people to evolve rather than arrive fully formed. This episode explores the spaces between structure and freedom, intention and accident, where design becomes less about control, and more about understanding how we move through the world. Tune in for a layered conversation on space, life, and seeing beyond what is immediately visible.

The Third Space | Episode 4 ft. Divya Kapoor of Nicobar

In this episode of The Third Space, we sit down with Divya Kapoor, Head of Visual Merchandising and Jewellery at Nicobar. A quiet yet incisive voice in the design landscape, Divya brings a deeply thoughtful approach to how objects, spaces, and stories come together. She reflects on building visual narratives that feel lived-in rather than styled, on restraint as a design language, and on creating systems that allow creativity to breathe. From merchandising to jewellery, her practice balances instinct with structure, allowing clarity and intention to guide each decision. This episode explores the subtler dimensions of design — where meaning is shaped through proportion, rhythm, and pause; where visual language becomes a way of feeling, not just seeing. Tune in for a reflective conversation on simplicity, process, and purpose, and on designing in ways that feel deeply human.

The Third Space | Ep 3 (part 2) ft. Peter D'Ascoli of D'Ascoli & Company

In the second part of our conversation on The Third Space, we continue our dialogue with Peter D’Ascoli — designer, storyteller, and an intuitive observer of textiles and culture. Building on the foundations of the first episode, this chapter turns inward, moving from place and practice to personal reflection. Peter speaks about learning to trust his own voice, navigating periods of uncertainty, and allowing a body of work to unfold over time. He reflects on resilience and reinvention, and how these moments clarified his need to create work that feels honest, intuitive, and deeply personal. This episode explores what it means to build slowly and with intention — letting craft, instinct, and lived experience guide each decision. Tune in for a thoughtful reflection on continuity, courage, and staying present through change — where design remains as much about feeling as it is about form.

The Third Space | Ep 3 (part 1) ft. Peter D'Ascoli of D'Ascoli & Company

In the third episode of The Third Space, we sit down with Peter D’Ascoli — designer, storyteller, and a long-time observer of the emotional and cultural intelligence of textiles. With decades of experience across fashion, interiors, and decorative arts, Peter brings a sensitivity to design that goes beyond technique and into the realm of memory, instinct, and history. In this first part of our conversation, Peter reflects on his journey from New York to India, and how the country’s craft traditions reshaped not just his practice, but his way of seeing. He speaks about the subtlety of colour, the rhythm of pattern, and the way textiles hold both personal and collective stories. Tune in and discover how emotion, craft, and cultural memory converge in Peter’s world — and how design becomes a space of feeling as much as form.

The Third Space | Episode 2 ft. Bhavna Kakar of Latitude 28 & Take On Art

In the second episode of The Third Space, we sit down with Bhavna Kakar, the visionary founder of gallery Latitude 28 in New Delhi, and the founding editor‑publisher of TAKE on Art magazine. With a background in art history and a decade of experience curating, writing, and nurturing critical discourse, Bhavna talks about building spaces,— both physical and intellectual that are daring, inclusive, and experimental. She reflects on what it means to champion emerging artists, to sustain independent art writing, and to question the status quo in the world of art. We explore her journey from curator to cultural entrepreneur, and the way she weaves together curation, criticism, and community-building in South Asia’s contemporary art landscape. Tune in and discover how design, dialogue, and legacy intersect in her world.
