INTERIOR
DESIGNERS TO KNOW !

While visiting or viewing a place, the
first thing that the human eye notices
are its design and details. Nature,
being the best designer of all has created a world
that is full of designs worth replicating. For the
man-made spaces, it is the job of the architects
and interior designers to design an appealing
space. Some of the greatest buildings and
monuments of the world are architectural marvels
that are not just structures but stories in
themselves. What marks them different from each
other is their unique design that that incorporates
the times, requirements, inspirations, emotions
and more.
When it comes to personal or individual spaces in
modern times, what people want might be
different from what they need and what they
communicate that they need. It is thus the job of
the designer to understand the fine lines between
what is being asked by the consumer and what is
actually required by them as explained by the
great artist and teacher, Hans Hoffmann, “Design
is the intermediary between information and
understanding.” For such people, who appreciate
the finer things in life and have an eye for design
and details, Infinity Architects and Interior
Designers has been catering with phenomenal
success.
The Holy Trinity for Creating Unique Designs
Infinity Architects and Interior caters to Luxury
Interior Design market and is the most recognized
brand in the market and well known for its
exclusivity and finesse. Ideate, Integrate and
Implement is the holy trinity that the company
believes is responsible for its phenomenal success.
Infinity believes this market requires artists that
create and provide authentic service to clients.
Understanding the difference between the client’s
need and want is an overlooked part of the process
without which one cannot remain true to the
project. The mantra of Infinity is to be aware of
what the client needs while the client himself is
drawn by his wants and overwhelmed by endless
possibilities. It requires research, authenticity and
appreciation – things that Infinity does best. Every
single design and material used is original and
unique for every project with no repetitions,
making it completely personalized for the client.

It is said that
no great mind
has ever existed
without a touch
of madness
“
“

All-encompassing Services
Infinity is amongst the global
companies which gives all services
under one roof like Architecture,
Interior Design, Project Management
Consultancy, MEP Services
(Mechanical, Electrical and
Plumbing), 3D Visualization and
Annual Management Contracts. This
prevents the customer from running
around to try and find the best solution
regarding various requirements. Also,
Infinity gives services for Material
Procurement which is beneficial for the
customer for cost savings.
Infinity takes a lot of pride for its
impeccable execution process and
detailing in Design. It probably is the
only Design firm in the region where
every given site has a dedicated Site
engineer and individual Designer other
than the principal Designer. Infinity is
capable of blending different elements
to create an ambience which makes it
feel good, lively and perfectly
complements the client’s character and
taste.
In-house services like Project
Management Consultancy, MEP
consultancy and AMC (Annual
Management Contracts) help the
clients for their one-stop solutions even
after the project is handed over.
Furthermore, at Infinity, the material
procurement team comes in handy for
the clients ease to help them with the
material purchase, this further helps
control the project budget on a longer
run.
The Design Maven
Infinity’s Founding Director –
Ajinkya Dhumal has been creating
true masterpieces of luxury for
Residential & Commercial Interior
Designing for more than a decade.
Like his designs, his success story is
rich in elements which range from
simple background and initial failures
to passionate persistence. His interest
in sketching fueled his curiosity about
the Design world which he explored to
the fullest. Today, with his brilliant
taste and touch of luxury his company
is the most recognized brand in the
market and well known for its
exclusivity.
Dedication, Discipline, imbibing
holistic approach towards projects, his
“In Designing,
every detail is a
luxury and those
details are not just
details, they make
the design”

keen understanding of the
extraordinary the unerring taste and
always considering customer is king,
are his qualities which have
contributed towards the upliftment of
the company. His leadership is draped
in inspiration as he and his team go
about creating new ideas, utilizing new
materials, visiting new exhibitions and
creating a unique lifestyle of people
living in the spaces.
Reinventing Design – Team Infinity
Infinity’s employees are essentially the
key stakeholders. Built on 17 years of
vast experience and expertise, Infinity
has accumulated an impressive track
record founded on trust and credibility.
With quality service that speaks, its
interior design concepts have been
known to focus on translating clients’
specifications into discerning ideas. It
is only through the employees’ creative
and technical eye that Infinity’s
projects are unique and exceptionally
remarkable.
The four pillars of its team “Designers,
Execution, Purchase, and Admin” have
eventually carved out an Elite niche
name for Infinity. They play the most
important role in the company by
working cohesively as a team; the team
with vision, passion, creativity, hard
work and thirst for the continuous
growth of the company.
A Dynamic/Lively Sector
With the growing penetration of
technology, Ajinkya feels that the
world looks at Interior Design as made
do of Pinterest and Google images. The
current generation’s imagination is
fueled as well as limited by what it
sees on the search engine which is the
bitter reality of Interior Design
landscape. Mass production design
houses have cultured the market with
affordable and economic Designs.
While this certainly serves the purpose
of the clients of a livable space but the
essence of a unique approach for
design is lost in transition.
Ajinkya adds, “With the fast-growing
tech enable advancement, creativity is
challenged. It has become a world of
copy-paste. It’s the most disturbing
scene in the Interior industry. However,
technology has helped in achieving
speed, availability, affordability. The
business has become faster than ever.”
“Being in a creative
industry, Infinity meets
clients demands,
needs, aspirations,
imaginations and build
their dream into reality”

Distinct Impact
Infinity, deferring from the path too
commonly traversed, believes in value
for money and creating a unique
approach which makes the spaces more
sustainable, user-friendly and
remarkable impact. It believes in
creating bespoke designs for its clients
and adding a unique language and
design ideas to every project. With
services like in-house annual
management contracts, the clients
hardly need to worry about the post-
service issues faced at projects.
For Infinity, a Client is a Client-
Partner. This way it becomes easy to
step into the client’s shoes. When it
gets a requirement to furnish, it never
comes up with solutions to only these
requirements, but looks at it from a
360-degree perspective and beyond.
Every avenue of client’s aspirations,
desires and needs get its appropriate
attention through Infinity’s
accommodating yet disciplined
approach.
Words of Wisdom
For the young and budding designers
and entrepreneurs, Ajinkya has the
following words to share:
“There is no perfect advice as the
design is a matter of preference and
individual liking. However, there are a
few popular design styles which are
widely accepted by the general clients
as timeless and comfortable. I think
anyone thinking of starting their
company should have work experience
of six to eight years at least in the same
industry. The Key to success has no
shortcuts. As we know, to reach
somewhere, we need to start from
somewhere. This philosophy only
works when we have a properly defined
process. Take charge of your
personality and harness it with
empirical encounters.”
“One look at any of our projects and
you can feel the passion touching you”
Starving Distractions, Feeding Focus
Being in a creative market, the
challenges are aplenty for Infinity,
ranging from stiff competition, budget-
constraints to lack of skilled labour and
more. But it believes in Problem
solving attitude and focuses on being
part of the solution as the main key to
overcome any of the challenges. “Do
not linger around the problems, be a
part of the solution team” is the
Mantra at Infinity to overcome any sort
of challenges it has ever come across.
Since it’s inception, Infinity has
successfully designed over a thousand
projects. All of them Designed and
executed with a holistic approach. A
powerhouse of creative talent, a skilled
workforce and dedicated team along
with a reliable source of vendors, is
Infinity’s key to accomplishing
challenges of any magnitude. So is
absorbing diverse insights from all the
departments and applying towards
various hurdles constructively.
Possibilities – Infinite
Infinity has clients majorly in Pune,
Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and
Hyderabad. Its enduring relationships
with clients are testaments to its hard
work. Infinity’s portfolio has grown
extensively to include prestigious
residential and commercial works.
Achieving sustainability while
strategically positioning and living up
to its motto, Infinity aims to build a
significant presence PAN India,
implementing BIM, Product Design
and to have International
Collaboration. Ajinkya adds, “We are
striving to sculpt an entity where the
lifestyle which everyone covets gets
manifested in reality.”

before the demolition work has started. To deliver quality
under such challenging situations and strike a balance
between client requirements, site conditions, and execution
that involves various agencies, suppliers, artist etc. is
Ornate Projects prime forte.
IS: Brief us about the Founder/CEO and his/her
contribution towards the upliftment of the company.
What was the source of inspiration for your company to
be in the Interior Design Solution Providers segment?
Bhakti Bhojwani quotes “Fashion fades style is eternal”
Trends exist to make people feel badly about what they
don’t have. Rather design should be timeless. Taj wasn’t
built in a day yet stands tall as an epitome of luxury and
Era-time of design.
Being born to a legacy family which has been in the world
of design and construction, right from her childhood Bhakti
Bhojwani grew up seeing raw canvas spaces transform into
opulent spaces. When anyone asked her, what she wants to
do when she grew up? she was sure she wants to do interior
design and styling. She strongly believes one should choose
a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in
your life. Creating a beautiful interior is something that
comes instinctively and gives her great pleasure. Bhakti,
Graduated from Rachna Sansad is

Projects. She designs, executes &
styles a wide range of commercial,
residential and retail spaces with
her team of young Designers. She
was felicitated with a trophy in
hospitality and retail design from
Hosts – Next Gen creations and
later on by the institution in her final year of education.
Today her clients recognize her efforts, vision, creativity.
They see this creativity combined and pivoted by
technology as an inborn gift of representing her fierce
undaunting style.
Her recent works involve a bespoke luxury one of its kind
bridal boutique in Mumbai’s high end leading jewellery
brands “I see myself as a story teller, clients hire me to
write their biographies but instead of using words I use
fabrics, textures, elements, items personal to them.” She
comments. Owing to her distinguished taste in style and
creativity every piece of art and furniture is commissioned
and handmade in-house by explicit workmen trained in
various fields of art. Ornate pieces of furniture are created
with utmost detailing by our Ornate Projects In-house team
of talented contractors, workers, artisans and consultants on
our panel.

Pankaj J. Popat holds his Graduation degree of first class
in Civil Engineering from VJTI, he worked with leading
firms of the country in his early years. Pankaj J Popat found
Ornate Projects to give shape to his passion and vision in
Interior design and construction. He imparts his vision and
knowledge to us as a design head of this multi-disciplinary
firm. OP stands tall on Pankaj’s experience of three decades
of trust in the industry of design. In a span of over three
decades Ornate Projects under his guidance has completed
handover of more than 400 versatile projects ranging from
an entire spectrum of factories units, corporate offices,
boutiques, commercial and retail design, bungalows, second
homes, high-end residence apartments. Adding to the
concentric layer his vision the team comprises the best
interior designers experienced and young minds to shape
opulence and grandeur into the spaces he envisages. He has
completed over 2,00,000 sq. ft. of factories in cities like
Mumbai, Dahanu, Shirwal, etc,. He is India’s trusted name
in construction of pharma, jewellery, laundry manufacturing
system factory units. Delivering such a complex plan of the
business is something he & his team works flawlessly.
IS: What are the different products and services
provided by your company, setting it apart from its
competitors?
Bhakti Bhojwani not only helps her father with the
day-to-day workings of the office, she has brought in new
technologies and software to the firm. Bhakti expanded her
father’s legacy of construction, management consultancy,
chain form of interior design for production factory units to
interior design consultancy and brought in material
procurements, interior styling, styling products, imaginative
designing all under one roof. At Ornate Projects we
understand very well the concept of meeting, committed
dates and timelines. We take up complex projects on under
difficult timelines and delivers outstanding workmanship,
and extremely important on time and in budget. Design is
about making people happy functionally, aesthetically &
emotionally. What makes it more interesting is Ornate
Projects flawlessly committed approach of treating every
project individualistically. Repeating makes them so
monotonous. Every client, every project, every need is
unique.
IS: What are the key attributes that helped your
company to overcome the challenges?
Speaking of challenges, they faced in their run, they opined
that it remains the same in the sub-continent in a
marketplace where interior is mostly commoditized than
valued for its originality and design integrity, there is
always a cheaper and easy option for you as a practice not
to lose a project. And for the client to opt for a cheaper less
challenging and familiar one. “we have to invest in real
hard work of breaking these molds and stereotypes, in many
cases” Pankaj Popat, Bhakti Bhojwani
IS: What is the current scenario of Interior Design
landscape, from your point of view? With the massive
tech-enabled advancements, what are the opportunities
and challenges evolving with it? It can be tricky to
predict the future. As expected, technology is set to play
a huge role in the future of interior design. But which
technologies? And how might we use them?
Today we talk about Smart homes, 3D printing, virtual
reality, sustainable design, affordable homes, how practical
is that? Are we taking cautious steps towards the brighter
future? We are choking the trees. We are building a concrete

jungle without any future planning. Future is living with in
harmony with the environment. For example, we are
making dry walls in a city like Mumbai where the climate
cannot sustain them, only so as to plagiarism the west. The
extensive use of plastic in interiors, we as designers should
take a mindful conscious effort towards converting the
cheaper solutions into the sustainable ones. Technology is
changing the shape of every field to a great extent. The
world is coming closer due to social media.
IS: What are the benefits gained by your clients while
doing business with you?
Ornate Projects has been fairly successful in their run till
date. They work with more Patron clients than generic ones.
Mostly such projects set strong benchmarks. Speaking of
achievements, they say “Ornate Projects won Top 20
architects in Mumbai for our projects of one-of-its-kind
Bridal Boutique. This Boutique with a unique concept and
branding idea won many prestigious awards.” We at Ornate
believe in keeping transparency in terms of the design as
well as the materials used. Our aim is to provide a
long-term solution to the clients in terms of low
maintenance and elegance for which we suggest the use of
those materials that are environmentally friendly, local and
natural and create a balance between interiors and nature.
IS: Kindly tell us about the company’s vision and
mission.
Their prime objective is for Ornate Projects to have a global
footprint and to be reckoned among the most innovative
practices globally and to be responsible for some important
and relevant architecture, Interiors and Construction.
IS: What would be your advice for the budding startups
and entrepreneurs in the industry?
Ending the interview with a note for the younger
generations, they had a concise but strong response-
“Patience, Perseverance & Optimism.” That should suffice
in itself for any youngster in search for some motivation.

Innovative Designs, Quality Execution
yderabad based Kreative
HHouse is one of the most
sought after firm for
residential architecture and interior
design in India. It has gained popularity
in Hyderabad and Pune as a firm for
perfect Design and Execution of Luxury
and Green High-end Residences without
compromising on quality and
workmanship. In more than a decade,
Kreative House has completed
sustainable and innovative designs for
close to 15 lakh sq. ft. of space across
commercial, residential, retail and
hospitality spheres.
Complementing Each Other – In Life
and Work
The design firm with husband-wife
architect duo – Pavan Kakade and
Medha Kakade at the helm has grown
to become a single-stop shop for its
prospective clients.
An astute sense for the design comes
naturally to Medha, the Founder and
Principal Architect. Her first job was
with the reputed architectural and
interiors’ firm in Sangli. Her strong
design sensibilities saw her handling
major interior projects completely on her
own. Her stint at the firm came to an
end in 2002 which paved the way for
the foundation of Kreative House.

If designing great
structures and interiors
is challenging, then
building it and executing
them within strict timelines
and to the finest of quality
is the bigger one and
we do both with ease
‘‘ ‘‘
Medha Kakade
Founder & Principal Architect

‘‘In 2012, she was joined by her husband
Pavan who was working in the capacity
of ‘Chief Architect’ at AHIDCO
(Aditya Housing& Infrastructure
Development Corporation). Hailing from
Solapur, Maharashtra, Pavan was born
and brought up in Hyderabad. With a
passion for architectural design, Pavan
enrolled in JNTU (Jawaharlal Nehru
Technical University) to pursue
Architecture. His creativity was
acknowledged by NASA (National
Association of Students of Architecture)
when Pavan designed a “Futuristic
Living Module” which was selected as
one of the best designs in the
competition. His career started with a
leading architecture firm, moving on to
to the role of lead Architect with HDFC
for architecture and interior works of
their new branches and project
evaluations, then AHIDCO and finally
Kreative House.
Medha and Pavan’s working styles and
expertise are a perfect complement to
each other and Kreative House’s abilities
are only poised to grow. With their rich
knowledge in designing and project
handling, they have taken the firm from
a home office of staff four people to one
of the leading architecture and interior
designing firm in Hyderabad and Pune.
Its work is also seen in Vizag and
Solapur.
Services That Enthrall
Team Kreative House comprises of
architects, interior designers, civil
engineers, research assistants and
surveyors. The team designs and
executes customized amenities to suit
the individual personalities and needs of
the clients. Projects handled by the
studio reflect the studio’s focus on good
space planning, explorations with varied
decor styles, and minute attention to
detail. Its services comprise of:
• Luxury High-End Residences
Luxury high-end residences add
multiple aspects which make our lives
safe, secure and more comfortable.
While a basic home consists of
kitchen, bedrooms, living and dining,
luxury residences have a home
theater, spa and sauna rooms,
gymnasium rooms, private terrace
gardens, infinity pools, recreation
rooms, sensor and temperature
controlled sanitary and plumbing
accessories, dimmer and sensor-
controlled mood lighting and more.
Architectural design plays an
important role in deciding the
outcome of all the above aspects and
giving that sophisticated yet pleasant
look. A good design also redefines the
overall experience of the space.
• High-End Green Residences
Green is the new black. Saving our
planet and ecology has become more
important today, than ever before.
Green building design in general and
residence in specific has to be sensible

Mansi Desai
Founder

Interior Designing in today’s time has
become far more creative and diverse.
With new developments in the
industry there is always an alternative for
an expensive original material which
enables to design luxury interiors as well
as budget friendly interiors. The tech
enabled advancements have been a boon to
designers. With 3D view of the design, the
client gets a real look of the place before it
is completed. The exposure to various
design trends has been made possible and
beneficial to all. If there are pros there will
be cons as well. With the wide exposure,
the original design can be easily imitated.
Sometimes the designers fail to get the
credit of their design copied by others from
online. With modular designing becoming
the trend today, too many people are
opting for ready made solutions rather than
appointing a dedicated designer for the
task.
Yet, one woman and her team with passion
for designing and breaking the stereotype
while making her name known across the
interior designing stratosphere is Mansi
Desai – Founder of MANSI DESAI –
Designs For Living. Mansi spearheads her
interior designing firm located in Mumbai.
She is an Alumni of ‘94 Batch of Diploma
in Interior Design’ from the prestigious
Nirmala Niketan Institute in Mumbai. She
also holds a Postgraduate Degree in
Interior Design from the Rhodec
International Institute, London - United
Kingdom. During her prolific career, she
has collaborated closely with some of the
established architects in the industry. She
is the winner of best design award from
Houzz for two years continuously in 2018
and 2019.

RESIDENTIAL
“When it comes to residential design
we take it very personally, we make
sure to convert the house into a
home,” states Mansi’s team. While
doing the interior spaces of a house
the team ensures that it reflects the
client’s personality and style, after all
it is the home that comes to the
rescue and one can dwell in it in
peace and serenity after a long day at
work. The team loves to experiment
with eclectic, minimalistic and other
styles of design, but at the same time
it continues to focus on functionality
and maximise the use of space.
HIGHLIGHTEDSERVICES
COMMERCIAL
Work spaces tend to become very
stressful and over a period of time the
ambience does get monotonous.
Therefore, the team designs
commercial spaces with the focus to
maximise a refreshing and positive
environment across the space. “We
tend to keep these spaces simple yet
attractive based on the kind of work
involved in the area,” claims Mansi.
Forecasting interior trends and
designs helps it to keep the space
unique in such a way, that even after a
long period of time the space
continues to look chic and up to date.

the opportunity for design
collaboration and constructive

designers, consultants, draughtsman
and contractors who provide
exemplary services. Their expertise,
professionalism and innovative
approaches have been fundamental to
the successful execution of design
solutions.
“All our projects are contemporary and
chic, with a distinctly different
approach from one another,” tells
Mansi. The company is not just an
architectural firm, but it is a way of
practice. The name’s prologue itself
resonates its philosophy. ‘Designs for
Living’ echoes quality and practicality
towards form and function. It holds a
standard of consistently delivering
high-quality, client-oriented design,
shaped by sound environmental
solutions; places that are beneficial to
the user as well as the environment.
The clarity in the approach has proved
to be the anchor in all the projects
setting Mansi Desai apart from its
competitors. “We have always strived
to deliver what has been state of the art

to reflect the dwellers personality
living within. “From residential to
commercial and hospitality we do it
all,” claims Mansi. The firm does not
possess any patent design style as it
does not believe in one particular era
or aesthetics to be tamed for in
designing. The company consistently
keeps up with the updates, latest
trends, materials and design forecasts
which enables the clients with best

experienced personnel who deliver
only the best solutions. Both Mansi &
team are passionate about designs and
driven by this passion and they ensure
that every project undertaken meets the
highest form of creativity and
aesthetics.
Designing Insights
Mansi’s approach to design is
avant-garde and involves the use of
physical models and one-to-one scale
mock-ups to help test and develop the
proposed design concepts.
The team believes that the design
process is not linear and it requires
designers to think and draw on
different scales at the same time,
considering each finished detail in the
development of the overall design.
Talking about the future of the firm
Mansi says, “I look forward to
exploring with more eco friendly
materials with a wish to contribute to
the betterment of the deteriorating
environment.” For the aspiring
designers and artists, Mansi suggests,
“From my years of experience as a
designer my advice to budding startups
is to be crazy and free with their ideas
and keep thinking out of the box.
Success takes its time and one needs to
be patient with their work. Patience,
determination and optimism combined
with smart hard work is the mantra for
success.”
HOSPITALITY
Considering the current scenario
where every other day there’s a
new restaurant, pub or a hotel
coming up. It’s mandatory for
interior designers to be at their
toes when it comes to updating
spaces with new materials,
experimenting with unique looking
artefacts and colours. “In this
sector having a theme helps the
client and us to move along the
project without losing track,”
explains Mansi. Hence, she helps
the clients in picking up a theme
and proceeds cautiously to avoid
having the project get out of style.

nterior designing is a ﬁeld that
Iencompasses people’s dreams and
visions while turning it into
reality by creating a lively atmosphere
in any kind of space. Be it residential
or commercial, with the new avenues
opening up for designers there are a lot
of opportunities ﬂaring up as everyone
desires to have a place that represents
one’s uniqueness. New technological
advancements like 3D visualization
and VR are creating an experience for
potential customers to observe and
inspire ideas for the design in
real-time. Interior Designers have to
keep up with the dynamics of the
industry and come up with solutions
that are extraordinary to meet the
clients’ expectations. The times have
changed and so have the perceptions
people used to have about their living

vouch by the values that MPA brings into the association
and its contribution to their business growth as a dynamic
design partner in all their ventures.
MPA’s extreme zest to analyse the clients’ needs and
develop the designs totally from their perspective, is the
philosophy it has adhered to right from its initial struggling
days. As a regular design process, the firm deeply studies
the various aspects of the client, like their family,
profession, physical and emotional needs, temperament,
budgets, aesthetical expectations, design style and
exposure, their peers and competitors and even their energy
levels and work-life discipline, and the most important,
their day-to-day routine. It avoids getting fervently attached
to a singular style of design hence not losing its creativity
so that it can keep exploring new-fangled, better and bolder
ideas.
Milind says, “We want to be evoked for our contribution to
the development of this Interior-Architecture field, that span
the various size of projects, located in various geographical
locations and catering to the physic of wide strata of
clientele. Also in making a valuable contribution to the
sustainability in this Field and encouraging research and
sharing new visions with the society at large.”
An Industry that is Buzzing with Opportunities
Architects have traditionally worked on designing, planning
and overseeing the construction activity of a range of
building projects. But many more options are evolving in
the current scenario like managing other professionals in
the same or allied field or fields of sustainability, naval
architect, and more. Some new avenues are also opening in
the technology environment like developing architecture
software, apps and even products where the basic
qualifications of an architect can be of immense importance
to developing further skills. Even in the media and
communication fields, people with professionals
background are required to work on professional news,
magazines, etc.
This key development opens up new opportunities for the
young architects turned entrepreneurs. According to Milind,
“Being an architect is like being a high profile salesman
who sells ‘Dreams to Clients’! In our industry, a typical
work routine is not normal, since for our kind of work
requires our presence and personal involvement. One needs

to be on the toes, attending to issues as and when they
occur without unnecessary delays. Leaving your clients,
contractors & vendors with goodwill is extremely essential
for greater opportunities in the future. This may require
years of research, planning and experience in a focussed
direction. Continuously picking up soft skills is the need of
the hour and will give you an edge over the competition.”
Aiming for a Bigger Role
The industry is booming with new technological advances
that make the ecosystem more functional and user-friendly.
However, sometimes the aesthetics and sustainability is
underestimated in the process. With growing industry and
new minds infused in this ﬁeld, these attributes will be soon
taken care of. In this transitional phase, MPA will be
leading in the forefront and wants to be an essential part of
this industry to contribute its bit in making the
environments a better place. It looks forward to enjoying
working in diﬀerent parameters and to develop its language
of design. Milind adds, “In our quest for excellence, we
have been recognized and awarded in the Industry by
various discerner like Society Interiors, IFJ, etc. We intend
to move forward on this journey with a more innovative
approach and constant evolution to stay at the forefront of
the design world.”
