Surat, Gujarat : Aristotle Quote: “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.”
Keeping this in mind, Institute of Design & Technology (IDT), not only inspires its students to solicit ingenious designs, but also prepares them to effectively execute them.
One such exhibition was IDT’s annual Interior Design Showcase- INTEARC, organized at I.F.A.C.E’2020 (a wonderful amalgamation of diverse artisans and cultures) at DMD PARTY PLOT from 9th Jan-12th Jan.
Redesign is an emerging field of interior design that reuses things and materials to enhance sustainability in homes and work spaces.
INTEARC was conducted with the sole intention of providing the students a chance to explore the inventor in them through sustainable designs. Over 100 students (1st, 2nd & 3rd yr) in a group designed different pieces of furniture and aptly executed them using the recycled materials.

The specialty about the designs was that they were created out of organic stuffs, like- paper and glass after days of hard work.
While giving the details to the spectators, the students revealed that front wheels and bar tables were made out of bullock wheels, metal, wooden blocks, rope (rope) and bicycles; while the rocking chair and the wall clock were made using old cycle tire rings, old chairs, metal and jute, and, scorpion chair and Cat Houses were made from the unusable water drums and cotton.
