Mumbai Mirror commissioned Art Deco Mumbai to author a series of columns that were published weekly October 2017 – January 2018. These articles explored the city’s relationship with the art deco architectural style across neighbourhoods.
It was a unique initiative, we estimate it to be the first of its kind, to bring an appreciation of Deco into the homes and mind space of every Mumbai city resident.

Mumbai Mirror is the only single edition newspaper in the top 5 most-read English newspapers of India and is a Times Group publication.

Art Deco Mumbai is a not for profit initiative that showcases Mumbai’s Deco, advocates its conservation, chronicles its history, documents neighbourhoods and has created the only online public domain repository dedicated to Mumbai’s Deco.
The columns have been listed below in the order that they appeared every week. Click on the links to read them:
