Meghna Mirchandani 38, Furniture and Interior Designer
Delhi girl Meghna Mirchandani loves the Buddha; anyone walking into her house is greeted by a gigantic Buddha smiling serenely from the wall. One of Delhi’s much-in demand interior designers, she got her diploma from Jenson and Nicholson Institute, Delhi. Her company Dimensions, set up in 2006, undertakes turnkey projects for homes, offices, institutions and restaurants. She specialises in furniture design, and her preferred materials are solid wood, steel and leather, customized according to the needs and comfort of the user.
“Delhi is home to me. It’s my birth place; so when I make a house into home, it’s the essence of Delhi to me,” says Meghna, who believes that a house is a beautiful composition of various features, colours and building material.
Meghna says she loves the city’s green side. “However much we complain about traffic and pollution, the trees have been the city’s saviours,” she says. The designer is also deeply interested in history. The heritage monuments across the metropolis “connect us to our roots,” says Meghna.
