Modern Makeover

Jannat Vasi believes that design strategy starts with human experience. Bringing in a sense of well-being and comfort with subtle luxury is what brings about a successful design outcome. A project should align with the client’s vision, aesthetic and functional preferences. “We design a tailor-made space for them through intricate planning, detailing and design which we aim is one-of-a-kind in every way possible,” she says.

Vasi feels to be successful one needs to consistently hone one’s skills and undergo an independent journey of self-discovery through experience. Practical knowledge, social relationships and surpassing the client’s expectations have given her confidence and a sense of freedom.

As the owner of her studio, Vasi says, “I have come to the realisation that besides design skills, an interior designer needs to wear many hats such as perform the role of a team leader, a management expert and sometimes, hilariously even a psychiatrist.”

Among the studio’s prominent projects are the innovative Pop Art House at Peddar Road in Mumbai and Summer Home (highly customised design with a balanced play of textures, materials and colour) in Goregaon East in Mumbai.

Vasi wants to create a social impact through a blend of innovative problem-solving solutions which are aesthetically pleasing and of superior quality, working with the right people in the right spaces using the right products at the right time. “I would want to think out-of-the-box by blending age-old techniques and crafts in innovative ways to create a modern outcome that appeals to a global palette,” she says.
