Shaping Dreams, Designing Lives: A Godrej Story, explores the histories of three such everyday icons—the steel cupboard (Storwel), the chair, and the refrigerator—tracing how they became markers of aspiration, comfort, and modernity. Each emerged in response to a distinct socio-economic moment: the Storwel in the 1920s symbolised Swadeshi enterprise; the tubular steel chair of the 1960s and ’70s spoke to the rise of office culture and state bureaucracy; and the refrigerator mirrored the consumerist ambitions of post-liberalised India. It thus presents a story of how design, business, and everyday life intersect.

This exhibition opened at CEPT University, Ahmedabad from 13 May 2025 to 13 July 2025.
