The Design Festival

Dfrost is the annual design and cultural festival hosted by the National Institute of Design R&D campus, Bangalore. This year we are back on 18th and 19th March 2017 with a show, “Beyond the Event Horizon”. With Dfrost '17, we continue our quest to move away from conventional college festivals to create a platform where innovators from various fields engage in thought provoking conversations that brings multiple disciplines together. For designers and non-designers alike, Dfrost is a pathway to gain new perspectives and broaden existing ones.
