For us, a space is just a box until it has a soul. We do not pick decor off a shelf; we visit galleries and collaborate with artists to find the exact piece that tells your specific story.

I share my thoughts on a piece at an art exhibition, discussing how it transforms Indian traditional themes with a modern, cubist-inspired concept. Art is a constant source of inspiration for our architectural work.

Exploring commissioned art for our new projects at an art gallery in Delhi. We are looking for pieces that tell a story and add a unique character to our spaces.

About Art & Inspiration

When we design, we start by visiting galleries or working with artists to find pieces that act as the room's focal point. Rather than picking decor from a catalog, we prioritize finding original art that bridges your personal history with the architectural lines of your home. It creates a space that feels lived-in and intentional from day one.

A study in sculptural lighting. This black and white photo highlights the different forms and textures of light fixtures in one of our projects, from folded paper-like shades to undulating wooden pendants, each adding a layer of artistry to the ceiling.16
In this workspace, we used dramatic wall-mounted lights that cast starburst patterns, transforming a simple wall into a feature. The interplay of light and shadow is contrasted with the classic checkerboard floor and a rustic bamboo ceiling.
We often use light to define architectural lines. Here, integrated LED strips in the handrail guide the way up a minimalist staircase, creating a graphic and almost futuristic effect in the dark.

The pièce de résistance of the 'Aria' house. Fluted wooden doors slide open to reveal this majestic totem light installation, encased in an elliptical wall. This sculptural light is the focus of the entire living room, a true testament to art as the centerpiece of design.7
A close-up of the "Melting Candle" wall in our 'Aria' project. This terracotta-red sculptural element was hand-carved from plaster and clad in IPS, flowing sinuously onto the floor like melted wax. It obstructs the view just enough to create intrigue and wonder.
The "Melting Candle" wall serves as a sculptural backdrop for other art pieces. Here, it stands behind two beautiful paintings, creating a rich dialogue between different forms of art. It is a prime example of how we layer artistic elements to tell a deeper story.
In a transitional passageway, we commissioned this sculpture inspired by Buddhist prayer wheels. The meticulously executed piece is a modern take on the wheels, depicting the life of Shiva. It invites a moment of interaction and reflection as you move through the home.

This installation, created with artist Ankon Mitra, showcases how traditional fold-based techniques can elevate a space. Here, a cascading origami-inspired light made from parchment floats through a triple-height atrium, introducing softness and movement.14
A collaboration with Ankon Mitra, this piece titled 'Pravaah' blends origami with the Indian Shibori dyeing technique. The installation retells the story of the Radhakrishna Rasleela through folded and dyed fabric, becoming both a narrative and a textural element.
This image shows two distinct art forms in one frame: a flowing origami light installation and the vibrant 'Chilli' sculptures by Subodh Kerkar. This juxtaposition highlights our approach of curating diverse art forms to create dynamic and layered interiors.
