Our Values
Wellbeing
Our design philosophy prioritises the creation of spaces that support physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We approach every project with a nurturing and comprehensive perspective to achieve harmony in all aspects of the space.
Art in Interiors
Every space we create is infused with character, soul and stories. While we are global in our perspective, we are personal in our approach, sourcing exceptional details, objects and finishes from all around the world in our quest to create unique interiors for each client.
Evergreen Elegance
Our design aesthetic merges traditional and contemporary elements with exceptional quality craftsmanship, unforgettably beautiful artworks and attention to detail in spaces that both capture the imagination and stand the test of time.
Elevated Detailing
We care deeply about detail in every aspect of a space. While the result is always warm and inviting, we aim for flawlessness every time, ensuring that every element is thoughtfully considered and expertly executed.
Our forte is spatial planning and we believe strongly in the concept of addition through subtraction. This means we start from scratch, with our in-house architectural team and interior designers working closely together to visualise a space using state of the art 3D models that integrate the latest AV and lighting technology, opening up a world of new possibilities. We work with an extended network of expert consultants, including structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, planning consultants, quantity and party wall surveyors, offering a full architectural solution from concept to completion. Our unrivalled expertise also extends to detailed schemes for planning applications and party wall awards.
From finishing touches to full refurbishment, our interior design process always starts with a vision. Working closely with our clients, we create timeless, elegant, luxurious designs with aesthetic integrity that are tailored to blend seamlessly with lifestyles of those we work with. From initial concept design to the final finishing touches, we offer a completely bespoke service. Our talented designers blend high-quality craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology with an expert understanding of how to use light, form, colour and materials to maximise the potential of each interior space.

Down to the smallest details, we consider every fitting, piece of furniture or equipment that will be needed to realise our client’s vision. From furniture and art to light switches and door knobs, each decision we make is influenced by how our clients live and use their space.Whether bespoke or ready-made, every item is thoroughly researched to ensure it both looks beautiful and works. Once carefully chosen, we source the pieces directly from our extensive supplier base. We handle all coordination and communication with suppliers, architects and the project manager, overseeing the respective orders and deliveries to ensure a smooth and timely installation.
Curating, collecting and creating art is a skill, and its one that holds particular significance to our founder, Shalini. Art is at the heart of our designs, indivisible from the space it is or could be in. With art there are no boundaries. For us, works often narrate the design language of the space, influencing the colours, textures and even the sizes of the rooms we create when remodelling a home. Beyond curating existing collections, we also work closely with master artisans, craftsmen and designers to collaborate on bespoke pieces, which are distinct to our spaces.
We are proud to have spent decades developing a network of artisans that spans the globe, which includes highly skilled craftspeople, capable of creating exceptional bespoke furniture, standout lighting and timeless accessories. Creating a dialogue between our designers, clients and the artist, we are able to commission handmade pieces that are completely unique, reflecting and expressing character and personality. Crafting the unexpected, we encourage clients to maximise the opportunities of bespoke design by combining unusual materials and choosing rare and specialised techniques.
