Today on our Meet The Maker Series we feature Rashmi Singh, Founder, Studio Moya, based in Bangalore. Let’s find out more about her festive exclusive showcase and her venture. Read on…
Tell us a bit about you and your design venture.
Being born and brought up in Bihar, I have a strong connect with rural India and the related crafts. Design has always come naturally to me,working in the crafts sector I am always working to connect crafts to contemporary taste and needs. At Studio Moya, we are trying to build a lifestyle approach to crafts, One craft diversified into multiple unique products. Every time a customer walks in he should be able to see something new. I don’t want the customer to buy every piece but they should be able to see the cohesion. A truly sustainable approach at both the maker and the buyer end.
How has technology affected your growth professionally?
Technology today is like a bare minimum hygiene for any business to grow. The Internet of Things is truly magical in terms of reaching out to the world with your creation.
Why is it important to showcase offline in spite of a strong digital platform presence?
Having said that technology is crucial, I still believe in touch, feel and experience when I buy anything and would imagine my clients or the customer group we cater to, would too. By showcasing offline through the right platforms, like By Hand From The Heart we are also able to reach out to a great audience where they can experience our products and we also get to know what the consumer is actually looking for.
Any decor tips for our followers?
I always suggest people to go with classic, evergreen tones when it comes to furnishings and furniture and keep playing with the highlight pieces/accents. Like adding replacing a few cushions, table decor, lampshades can simply turn the table around instead of doing up the whole house again.
Whats your favourite festive pick at Studio Moya,right now.
I am truly in love with our baby t-lights this festive season – perfect for golus, rangoli and home decor for navratri and diwali! Just the right size and the right price for gifting as well.
