ABOUT THE STUDIO

An interesting connection that ties Manuhita’s life and everything that surrounds it together is the influence of the letter M- Mumbai, Milan, Magazines, Metals, Museums, Miniatures, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Monika (her mother’s name) & her name itself. All of these elements have played an integral part in her journey, one that is distinct from the journey of any other.

 

For Manuhita, design isn’t just problem solving, it isn’t just breaking down theories. It’s about giving lifeless things a language of their own and being surrounded by things that make you happy, that talk to you. She tries to embody parts of characters, both fictional and real; parts that she feels acquainted with, and blends them together through unexpected ways in her design. 

​

Manuhita is also a co-founder of multi-disciplinary Design Collective, ZONA TRE which she runs with Sara Badovinac and Pietro Mattina. She was also awarded with ELLE Decor International Design Award (EDIDA 2019) as Student of the Year Runner-Up for her thesis, Lost & Found.  Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor India and has been showcased at Isola Design District during Salone Del Mobile (Milan Design Week 2024).
