CREATIVE

Design

In a world where design changes faster than your group chat's mood, Tikau showed up with one stubborn belief: things should actually last.

We craft OBJECTS & SPACES that don’t beg for attention — they simply stay. Timeless, durable, a little wise, a little modern, and always human at heart.

QUIRKY

ideas

Tikau literally means sustainable and enduring — the opposite of “use-and-throw energy.”

What guides our work?

"Honesty" — in materials, in process, and in admitting when something just doesn’t need an extra jazz.
"Simplicity" — in design, communication, and the way we like things to just make sense.
"Longevity" — in use, in emotion, and in how long you’ll keep coming back to it without getting bored.

UNIQUE

IDENTITY

We design and build timeless spaces and objects through:

  • Reimagining traditional craftsmanship through a contemporary lens

  • Using locally sourced, durable materials that don’t just look good, but live long.

  • Designing for repair, reuse, and adaptability — because evolving is cooler than replacing.

  • Offering end-to-end services — furniture, interiors, and architecture wrapped into one clear, cohesive design story.

Furniture

Tori 1.0

Tori is a furniture collection shaped by the quiet confidence of Japanese design. Built in solid wood with a strict sense of proportion, each piece finds its balance between structure and simplicity. The forms come straight from the logic of joinery — where function quietly decides what beauty looks like — creating furniture that feels grounded, enduring, and intentionally calm.

Hospitality

Sensei

Sensei borrows its calm from the quiet elegance of Japanese interiors. It celebrates simplicity and balance — clean lines, natural textures, and handcrafted details that make the space feel effortlessly composed. Soft, ambient lighting wraps everything in a gentle glow, turning dining into a slow, immersive ritual — the kind that makes you pause, breathe, and actually taste every moment.

Sensei-The brand Identity

Sensei

The identity for Sensei sits at the intersection of restraint and cultural conversation. Rooted in Japanese minimalism and typographic discipline, the branding is built on a strict grid — a quiet nod to precision, balance, and “everything in its place.” A bold red accent cuts through the muted palette with intention — adding focus, warmth, and a little heartbeat to the calm. Clean geometry, generous negative space, and tactile materials echo the fine-dining experience: warm minimalism with a side of quiet confidence. The result? An identity that’s timeless, composed, and unmistakably Sensei — serious in craft, effortless in spirit.

Interior design

Visava

This house brings together modern tropical architecture with a quiet mid-century soul. Think double-height volumes, big black-framed windows, and those smooth indoor-outdoor transitions that make the whole place breathe a little easier. Natural light pours in, cross-ventilation does its thing, and the spaces feel effortlessly alive. Textured surfaces, warm wood tones, and cane details add an earthy richness — minimal, but never cold. The open layout keeps everything fluid and connected to nature. The result: a grounded, tranquil home that balances clean lines with tactile warmth — serious design, without the serious attitude.

The Bengaluru kitchen - Brand Identity

TBK

The branding for The Bengaluru Kitchen taps into the city’s layered food culture through a visual language that feels contemporary yet unmistakably local. Borrowing from the lively chaos of South Indian street typography and the charm of everyday packaging, the identity mixes bold type, textured materials, and regional scripts to create a sense of place that’s instantly felt. The system walks a line between nostalgia and modern clarity — earthy tones, clean layouts, and handcrafted motifs come together like familiar flavours with a new twist. The result is an identity that feels warm, grounded, and delightfully Bengaluru.

ABOUT US

We’re building Tikau as a living lab — where design shakes hands with craft and everyone actually gets along.

Designers, makers, and clients co-create in the same sandbox. Old-school methods meet modern tools without fighting. And sustainability isn’t a buzzword here — it’s the baseline, the culture, the whole point of the party.
