Setting unparalleled benchmarks of excellence, the KOHLER Bold Design Awards is nothing short of an arena that has witnessed stalwarts from the field of architecture and design contend for the coveted Golden Pencil. Famed across the globe for their treasure trove of impeccable design sensibilities, creations and projects, the KBDA has acknowledged and accoladed India's finest architects and interior designers over the last two editions.
Since its inception, the KBDA strives to applaud and grant a podium like no other to the crème de la crème in the field of design and innovation. To ensure this, a jury of eminent international and Indian architects and designers will select the most outstanding projects. The Golden Pencil isn't made of wood and lead but of steel and gold. And while it may not draw on paper it demarcates the ordinary from the sublime. The KBDA is making a comeback after four long years that have taught us immense lessons and learnings in the way we lead our lives. In the light of new awakenings, renewed thought-processes that focus upon multifaceted aspects will have the Golden Pencil outline their exemplary achievements.
The KBDA celebrates the futuristic vision of designers and architects who can inspire others and establish a culture of design that is thought-provoking. Immortalising the winners, The Golden Pencil will etch their names in letters of gold within history books.
