At the MATECIA Exhibition 2025 and WADE ASIA, innovation and sustainability took center stage with awe-inspiring installations that stopped visitors in their tracks. More than just exhibits, these creations became crowd magnets, drawing visitors away from their strolls to pause, admire and capture selfies with pieces that blended art, culture, and conscience. Highlights of the showcase included:
BECOMING by Radha Patel
An 8-foot corten steel and aluminium sculpture symbolizing the journey of self-discovery, where grounded resilience meets limitless possibility. A contemplative piece that invited visitors to reflect while also becoming a striking photo backdrop.
Waste to Wonder Creation by De’Dzines
An impactful installation crafted from 800kg of scrap tyres, depicting Ram vs Ravan to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. Beyond its cultural resonance, it urged audiences to confront modern-day Ravans, which are waste, pollution and overconsumption.
The Peacock by De’Dzines
Built from 400 cycle tyres and 20 car and truck tyres, this vibrant sculpture celebrated India’s national bird as an emblem of beauty, pride and sustainability. The installation became one of the most photographed attractions of the exhibition.
These innovative creations not only highlighted the role of design in addressing global challenges but also underscored how sustainability can be woven into cultural and artistic storytelling. Visitors, architects and designers praised the installations for their scale, creativity and message-driven narratives.
With over 55,000 visitors and 300+ exhibitors, MATECIA 2025 once again established itself as the Mahakumbh of interior and building products, while WADE ASIA celebrated its decade-long journey as India’s top platform connecting women in design, architecture and innovation with brands and thought leaders.
