Trestle is a contemporary Indian furniture brand from the S.R. Jindal Group — handcrafted pieces built around sculptural form, material quality, and everyday comfort. Design Milestone 2025 was an early opportunity to introduce the brand to a wider audience, and the brief was clear: a refined space that allowed the furniture to be experienced rather than simply displayed.
The booth was organised around four distinct settings — a living room, a dining space, a bedroom, and a bar — each conceived as its own pocket within a larger whole. Dropping arches and considered visual blocking gave each zone its own identity while keeping the movement between them fluid and uninterrupted. The intention was residential: visitors were meant to feel as though they were walking through a home, encountering each space naturally rather than being directed through a showroom.
The furniture remained the focus throughout — each piece given enough room and context to be seen clearly, and to be imagined elsewhere.
