The pop-up was scheduled for the sixteenth and seventeenth of October, 2021 on the stunning 1AQ at Mehrauli.
The main focus of the pop-up was Design, House and Style and two days included stalls of a number of well-known manufacturers in addition to area of interest and boutique manufacturers showcasing distinctive ceramics, artwork collectibles, wearable artwork, jewelry, clothes, house decor, tableware, stationery, skincare, and equipment.

Personally, I used to be excited to be a part of this pop-up for my artwork label KhaosPhilos. Whereas I’ve participated in one exhibit beforehand, TAKE could be the primary time I’d be gaining publicity to an artwork business stalwart and their associates. Additionally, this was the primary bodily occasion that I participated in after the pandemic. ( Covid19 is now endemic – so it’s protected to say that the pandemic is over – for probably the most half. )
Some stalls have been outside and a few have been indoors. There was additionally a curated part the place Bhavna has fastidiously chosen distinctive artwork and ceramic collectibles from varied artists and displayed them.
Above are some pictures from the night of fifteenth October after I dropped by for a bit for the setup of the pop-up.
DAY ONE
Day One was sweltering! Who knew October could possibly be THIS sizzling. Each time I obtained an opportunity, I used to be operating into the indoors air-conditioning setup. Fortunately, the gorgeous, large Banyan tree protected a few of us from the worst of the warmth. It was a Saturday and many of the people I had invited had talked about that they’d be dropping in on Sunday.
DAY TWO
Everybody was excited for Day Two! It began of nicely after which midway, the skies obtained tremendous darkish and it began POURING rain! To be trustworthy, it was a type of issues that occur in life that you’ll bear in mind eternally. Somebody obtained a speaker and began enjoying music. Somebody put collectively a little bit of meals ( that was nonetheless dry ). Somebody even pulled out a bottle of Vodka and ice! Camaraderie at its best.
Since there was a sign of rain on the forecast, plastic sheets have been made out there for the skin stalls. And the venue was conscious the place water would accumulate probably the most they usually laid out mats to make sure folks might nonetheless stroll.
Among the pop-up specialists ( people who’ve been collaborating in pop-ups since I used to be a young person ), instructed me to hold on and that one by no means is aware of how issues change. Since I used to be tempted to simply wrap up and go house. So, I stayed and BOY have been they proper! The guests who confirmed up after rain had subsided ( and lots of confirmed up! ), have been there to buy and store they did. It was an unimaginable expertise for me.
Thanks for every thing Bhavna and Anubhav and hope to see you quickly! If this primary version was any indication of the ability of artwork stalwarts on this house ( regardless of the rain! ), I’m positively ALL IN for the second and ALL editions of the TAKE Pop-Up!
All in all, fully price it by way of a studying expertise for a n00b like me. Right here’s to many extra!
