New Delhi [India], November 18: FreeForm, the architectural finishes division of Vyara Tiles Ltd., successfully concluded its presence as Platinum Partner at the International Federation of Landscape Architects – Asia Pacific Region (IFLA–APR) Congress 2025. The IFLA- APR consisted of representation from 14 countries and was hosted by the Indian Society of Landscape Architects (ISOLA) for the first time in India at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. Bringing together global experts, practitioners, and innovators, the congress highlighted the urgent need for sustainable, resilient, and context-driven design across the Asia-Pacific region.

Experience Booth

As Platinum Partner, FreeForm hosted an experiential booth that drew architects, landscape designers, urban planners, and sustainability leaders throughout the two-day event. Visitors explored the brand’s full spectrum of GreenPro Certified, high-performance architectural premixes — from terrazzo systems and microcement to pebblewash, stonecrete, stone renders, and protective surface technologies. The booth served as an interactive hub for discussing material innovation, performance testing, and long-term durability in India’s increasingly climate-challenged environments.

Student-Crafted Designs on Display

A standout feature was FreeForm’s collaboration with ATLAS SkillTech University’s ISDI-School of Design & Innovation, where students created a series of functional and sculptural objects using FreeForm materials. These student works, rooted in conceptual themes such as Minimalism, Brutalism, and Maximalism were showcased at the booth.

The display was widely appreciated by architects, landscape designers, educators, and visitors looking for fresh, future-forward design perspectives.

Justice (Mumbai High Court) Gautam Patel, Ms Mughda Sinha IAS, MD-ITDC, and senior IFLA representatives.
