WORKS
Featured
Furniture
Tori 1.0
Tori is a furniture collection inspired by the quiet strength of Japanese design. Defined by solid wood construction and a disciplined sense of proportion, each piece balances structure and simplicity. The forms are rooted in the principles of joinery — where function dictates beauty — resulting in furniture that feels grounded, enduring, and intentional.
Hospitality
Sensei
Sensei draws inspiration from the quiet elegance of Japanese interiors. The design celebrates simplicity and balance — with clean lines, natural textures, and handcrafted details that create a calm, immersive atmosphere. Soft, ambient lighting enhances the dining experience, inviting guests to slow down and savor every moment.
Sensei-The brand Identity
Sensei
The identity for Sensei was conceived as an intersection of restraint and cultural dialogue. Drawing from the principles of Japanese minimalism and typographic discipline, the branding uses a structured grid system as its foundation — a nod to precision and balance. The bold red accent introduces a sense of focus and vitality within an otherwise muted visual palette, echoing the brand’s spatial experience of warm minimalism. Clean geometry, ample negative space, and tactile materials reinforce the fine-dining environment’s quiet sophistication. The result is an identity that feels timeless, composed, and distinctly Sensei.
Interior design
Visava
This house embodies a refined blend of modern tropical architecture and mid-century sensibility. Defined by double-height volumes, large black-framed windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, the design maximizes natural light and cross ventilation. Textured surfaces, warm wood tones, and cane detailing create an earthy yet sophisticated aesthetic, while the open-plan layout emphasizes spatial fluidity and connection to nature. The result is a calm, grounded home that balances minimalism with tactile warmth.
The Bengaluru kitchen - Brand Identity
TBK
The branding for The Bengaluru Kitchen celebrates the city’s rich culinary culture through a contemporary yet grounded visual language. Inspired by the vibrancy of South Indian street typography and local packaging aesthetics, the identity blends bold type, tactile materials, and regional scripts to create an authentic sense of place. The design system balances nostalgia with modern clarity — earthy tones, minimal layouts, and handcrafted motifs come together to tell a story that feels both familiar and fresh, much like Bengaluru itself.
