Questions

What people
often ask us.

General

  • Our two studios are in Mumbai (Chembur) and Chandigarh (Sector 8-C). We work with clients across India and abroad.

  • Yes, we work with clients across India and abroad, and travel wherever the brief calls us.

  • The simplest way is the Contact page. We respond personally within two working days and arrange a first conversation.

Interior Design

  • Classical, neo-classical and modern, and frequently a quiet conversation between them.

  • Every project moves at its own pace. We share an indicative schedule once the brief and scope are clear.

Custom Furniture

  • Yes. We accept individual commissions, subject to workshop availability.

  • In our own workshop, by craftsmen we have worked with for many years. Each piece is signed and numbered.

  • Yes, we arrange shipping across India, and internationally on request.

Process

  • Four acts, patiently paced, Discover, Design, Curate, Deliver. We begin with a long conversation and a site visit, develop the brief through drawings and material palettes, then move to workshop sampling and a managed install.

  • As involved as you wish to be. Most clients meet us at key milestones, brief, concept, material approvals and install, and we share progress between in a clear, considered rhythm.

  • Our team supervises the site through to handover, coordinating contractors, vendors and finishing trades. You receive the keys to a finished, styled home.

Materials

  • Solid teak and walnut, Italian and Indian marble, brass and bronze cast in Moradabad, hand-blocked cottons from Bagru and Sanganer, cane, lime plaster and travertine. Each project carries its own palette.

  • We source close to home where we can, working with artisans we have known for years, and farther afield only when a material truly asks for it.

  • Yes, all wood, stone, fabric and metal finishes are sampled and presented for approval before they enter the build.

Collaboration

  • Often, yes. We collaborate closely with architects, contractors and landscape designers, and step in at whichever stage of the build best suits the project.

  • Absolutely. We are happy to integrate trusted vendors into our process, while maintaining a single point of design accountability through the studio.

Consultation

  • A long, unhurried conversation, ideally on site. We listen to how you live, walk the space, and talk about references, materials and the feeling you want the home to hold.

  • The first conversation is on us. A more formal scoping visit, with measurements and a written brief, is billable and adjusted against the design fee should you choose to proceed.

  • Whatever helps you tell the story of the space, floor plans, photographs, references, and any heirloom pieces you wish to keep. We take it from there.

Pricing & Timeline

  • Most projects are on a percentage-of-cost basis with a clear minimum design fee, agreed up-front. We also work to fixed fees for defined scopes.

  • Yes, after the first walk-through and brief, we share a transparent indicative range so we can plan together.
