Our Material & Textural Language in Modern Indian Interiors
We view materials not as surfaces, but as the raw ingredients of a narrative. Our design language celebrates the tactile synergy of board-formed concrete, hand-beaten brass, and indigenous Indian stones.
Every texture tells a tale. This reel showcases a few of our favorite material combinations, including intricate veneer patterns, textured pyrite stone, and dyed veneers. These details are the building blocks of our sensory-rich designs.

A terracotta wall mural by artist Pravat M provides a deeply textural and narrative element. The raw, earthy quality of the clay contrasts with the polished, geometric pattern of the black and white granite floor.
The Chai Bar at the Baid Residence features brass paneling on the storage units, which exudes warmth and elegance. The wall is adorned with Mandala art by Kesar, adding a layer of intricate, spiritual patterning.

This bathroom at the Baid Residence features wallpaper by Cole & Sons with a rich, historical pattern. The texture of the wallpaper is paired with the smooth, veined marble of the vanity and the herringbone pattern of the wood floor.
A bathroom at the Baid Residence featuring walls of red travertine, a freestanding brass washbasin by Vikram Goyal, and Bocci lights. The combination of the richly colored, porous stone and the gleaming, hand-beaten metal creates a luxurious and tactile experience.
This bathroom at the Baid Residence is a study in natural textures, with a large window framing a view of the forest. The flooring is Equador stone, and the custom vanity combines wood with a black granite counter, creating a serene, spa-like feel.
About Our Material & Textural Language
Take the Baid Residence, where we juxtaposed the rough, earthy quality of a clay mural by Pravat M with the precision of polished black granite floors. It is this tension between raw, organic textures and crisp, architectural lines that defines our work, ensuring every space feels as grounded as it is sophisticated.
At Untitled Design, we believe a space is only as honest as the materials that compose it. Our design process begins with a conversation between the environment and the tactile elements we choose to inhabit it. Whether it is the cool, grounding presence of honed black granite or the warmth of hand-beaten brass, every surface is selected to evoke a specific memory or feeling.
We avoid the generic in favor of the artisanal. Our approach involves sourcing indigenous Indian stones and experimenting with finishes—such as fluted brass paneling or board-formed concrete—that age beautifully over time. Art integration is central to this practice. We do not just place objects in a room; we collaborate with artists to ensure textures, such as terracotta wall murals, become structural participants in the architecture.
For clients looking to build, this means looking beyond trends. It means choosing high-performance, sustainable materials that provide longevity without sacrificing luxury. From the intricacies of veneer patterns to the raw beauty of natural pyrite, our goal is to build a sensory narrative that makes your residence feel lived-in, loved, and entirely unique to you.
