Anirudh Kapoor Designs · The Studio

Work you can account for.

The studio takes on spaces, identities, and the systems that carry them. Every element in the work can be justified by the job it does — which is also the reason the work tends to outlast the brief that produced it.

01What the studio takes on

Spaces & objects

Interiors, exhibition, furniture, artwork and installation — concept through built outcome. Budget, material, production and maintenance are treated as inputs to the design, not obstacles to it.

Identity & systems

Brand identity, art direction, signage and wayfinding, collateral. One governing mark or grammar, drawn once, then extended across every surface the brand actually touches.

Web & what runs behind it

Sites held to the same standard as the identity — and wired to the enquiry, records and follow-up that decide whether a site earns anything after launch.

02Who it is for

Clients with something specific to protect.

Hospitality groups and restaurants. Luxury residential and real-estate developers. Jewellery and craft houses. Founders who would rather commission one considered thing than five approximate ones.

The studio has worked inside that register for over a decade, and speaks it natively. It is not a requirement: the method needs a real problem and honest constraints, not a famous name above the door.

House of Ming

Taj · Taj Mansingh, New Delhi2018Artwork & installation design

A brief with no function to justify it: the pieces did not have to work, only to mean. Each installation earns its place through narrative alone — drawn from the restaurant's own door pattern and the architecture of the Taj Mansingh lobby — so that nothing reads as decoration applied from outside.

Aralias Members' Club

The Aralias · DLF · Gurugram2018Brand identity & art direction

A club spanning dining rooms, a bar, a spa, a gym and salon, courts and a kids' club needed one identity supple enough to badge all of them without ever looking like a different place. The answer is a single drawn wordmark, tied by a continuous loop, carried through every sub-brand, sign, menu, package and uniform on the property.

Kashini

Kashini · Fine JewelleryIdentity, collateral & websiteNavy & gold

One lettermark — a lowercase “k” with a fine line-drawn lotus set into its counters — extended into a cusped Mughal arch, a jali ground, a gifting catalogue and a live online boutique. The identity, the collateral and the store are the design here; the jewellery is the house's own.

04How a project runs
01

Enquiry

Write with what you are trying to do, in your own words. Every enquiry is read and answered by Anirudh himself — within 24 to 48 hours. Not instant, and not a form response.

02

Definition

A short conversation to establish the problem that actually exists, the constraints around it, who it is for, and what outcome would count as success. Most briefs change here, for the better.

03

Proposal

Scope, deliverables, stages, timeline and a fixed fee — in writing, before any work begins. Nothing starts on an assumption about what was meant.

04

Build & handover

Work proceeds in reviewed stages, so nothing arrives as a surprise at the end. You receive the files and the reasoning behind them — a system you can keep running without the studio.

The reply

Enquiries are answered within 24–48 hours, by a person, with something useful in the reply — an honest read of the problem, and what it would take. If the studio is not the right fit for the work, that is said plainly rather than quoted around.
