A small interview with Aditya:
This is Aditya's first interview to any media in India and AAB is proud to be the first one.
What made you take up creative designing?
Aditya ---> The title of my course is industrial design major and my father Mr. Gajanan Vernekar who is an Engineer & Industrial designer. He is my main source of inspiration. I was always influenced by some of the great designers like Mark Newson, Konstantingrcic, Renzo Piano, Carl Liu And pretty much as a person I grew up with similar experiences. Lots of failures and down sides in my past and those have become my keys to present success.
Other aspects that greatly contributed to taking design are, I always wanted to explore some new possibilities& culture. Meet new people exchange views & ideas one of the great contributors to my design understanding is Mr. Reza Razazzadeh from Iran my close friend and a great artist.
- Qube design
Your experiences creating the Qube and why u thought of that design?
Aditya ---->Qube was just a general design the idea of developing such a seating evolved from one of my personal experiences when I visited a public school.
India is a developing nation and education is one of our vital source and stand point to be a strong nation. But not really much has changed in the class room. Country is going hi tech but we still sit on those monstrous dull wooden benches which don’t really have any ergonomic functionality nor are they safe they are very static and eat up lot of floor space. That’s where I came up with idea of developing qube.
It simply transforms to the requirement of the user for best possible function. Charles Darwin said nor does the strongest, nor does the smartest but one who transforms and adapts to the situation exist that’s the philosophy behind designing qube
How did u think of participating in MIFF 2010.
Aditya ---->Participating MIFF 2010 was just an initiative to display my skill and to test my competency among other Students in the same field. Over all I developed this project in 16 days when I was in India for my midterm break.
What made you take up creative designing?
Aditya ----> The message I would like to convey is believe in yourself, be very confident Be a dreamer and stretch your boundaries beyond to achieve them. Enjoy failures & experiences and you will enjoy success like never before.
Your future plans?
Aditya ----> Future plans are, I am very keen on enrolling myself for MDES in advance Product design at UMEA SWEDEN. Or peruse MDES in Industrial design at IDC at IIT Powai, Mumbai. Working for it hope I get there.
