When I stepped into Tilfi’s pavilion at Design Democracy in Hyderabad, it felt less like walking into a display and more like being invited into Banaras itself — its legacy, its mythology, its textures, and its artistry, all brought alive in metal. Sculptural panels like Meghdoot and Banaras Ghat rest alongside functional art pieces — a Gilded Drape console table, repoussé sconces, and wine bottle holders — each one a reminder that tradition, when touched with imagination, can speak a contemporary language.
