Gurmeet Singh's royal touch

Innovate or perish - the mantra that has made many corporations successful is also the philosophy of ceramicist Gurmeet Singh, who brings his unique modern perspective to traditional pottery.

Priyanka Vadra and other swish set-ers have been snatching up Singh’s clay and wrought iron designs at the pre-Diwali Blind School sale and at retail outlets in Dubai, but Singh’s full range is also at his Royal Touch stores - two true hidden treasures within the malls in Gurgaon.

Among Singh’s vibrant solids or floral designs, the most distinctive are the charcoal barbeque grillers with four skewers that let you cook kabobs right at your table.

For your own entertaining or as a gift, check out the geometric shape snack plates with clip-on dip bowls and the irresistible ice-cream demitasse cups shaped like wine goblets. Or for a blend of East and West, the new 29-inch plate is designed for communal eating. All pieces are safe in the microwave and oven-toaster-grill.

You’ll be surprised Singh’s e-mail address isn’t innovation@the_drop_of_a_hat.
