Designers Ankon Mitra

As a graduate of The Bartlett Faculty at University College London, the architect, sculptor and landscape designer has gained international acclaim as a pioneer of folding techniques. He was awarded the All-India Gold Medal for Sculpture in 2018 and the Lexus Design Award for Craft Design in 2020. With his idea of ‘oritecture’ (origami + architecture), he shares his vision of a universe forming and dissolving through acts of folding. Recently, Mitra has exhibited at Cheongju Craft Biennale in South Korea (2025) and was one of the main artists at the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial in Perth, Australia (2024), two of the most renowned craft exhibitions worldwide.
