Today on the blog, we feature Megha Jain, product designer and founder of Studio Pause, a homegrown interiors label based in Bangalore. Meet the maker at the February 2020 edition of By Hand from the Heart Makers Market in Chennai.

Tell us about yourself.

I am an interior designer by profession who loves to style spaces and make things with my hands. Did my Bachelor’s in Interiors from Bangalore and Post Graduation in Styling from Mumbai.

How did you begin?

STUDIO PAUSE – Creating and making things by hand is meditation for me and gives me immense joy. I have been trying to make my passion my profession for the past year and turns out that’s all I needed to do to uplift myself and my life. I began from home and still continue to work from my Home studio. Soon wish to establish a Studio space for the future.

What is the story behind your brand name?

Megha Jain, the artist behind Pause. An interior designer from Bangalore following her passion for handmade craft.  What brought together Pause is a dream that was wished upon since childhood. Accessorizing a space to create a vibe that connects people. Making things with hand and giving it a personal touch has always been something that has interested her. Every piece of work has been made patiently and hence pause to feel it , pause to admire it, pause to hear the story behind it.

How has your business evolved over the years?
It has not been more than a year that I have started. I am still growing and learning about the market and consumer needs.

Your work space & the artisans you work with.
Currently I work from my Home Studio by myself.

What is currently on your work table?
Laptop, sketch book and a zillion ideas and plans for the future.

What is your personal favorite pick in your line up right now? And why?
My personal favourite is one of the Plates I made from Ceramic that has a very smooth transition from white to a brown. Love how the colors merged and formed such a beautiful piece.

What are your displaying at the By Hand, From The Heart.
I will be displaying all my macrame work & pottery work like Curtain rings, keychains, Wall hangings, Plant Holders, Plates, Bowls, Planters etc.
