In 2019, Sifas takes its motivation from its heartland — the Riviera—and from the locale’s wonder years. The home of Sifas is a famous occasion goal with stunning living arrangements that are masterworks of Belle Époque or pioneer design, a land supported by incredible craftsmen, painters, scholars, and performers, who refined imaginative vitality from the sentiment of opportunity noticeable all around. This motivating past that is a piece of the substance of the Côte d’azur has encouraged Sifas to reinterpret the lines of its latest collection.

Contributing to Social Aspects of Design – Ar. Abin Chaudhuri

Posted by / Communication

Abin Design Studio was established in October 2005 under the leadership of Abin Chaudhuri who graduated from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 1998. Before going solo, he has worked as a creative head for Lafarge and served as a director at Adler & Associates. He then went on to pursue Industrial Design at Domus Academy in Milan. He has also attended the Glenn Murcutt International Master Class 2014. 

Abin fulfilled his aspiration of being involved in the design and construction of a public building with his very first project – The International Management Institute of Kolkata and has contributed to social aspects of design with assignments such as the Bamboo Pavilion, a temporary temple built as a shelter for the deity during a local festival, and the museum and academic research centre Nazrul Tirtha, which pays tribute to revolutionary poet Kazi Nazrul Islam by attempting to embody his philosophy through design. 

Abin Design Studio believes that architecture is not merely about creation, it is about a search. From social aspects to the mechanics of space and forms, from the beauty of light and shadow to striking a harmony with nature, it is essentially a continuing process of discovery of cohesion in the world. The spirit of learning from everything around them is what keeps their fire burning.  

They are constantly looking for projects that have scope for experimentation — dynamic explorations that allow them to realise the philosophy of providing a “soul in a shell.”

Over a span of ten years, their projects have earned numerous accolades. In 2014 their work was selected by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, for publication & a traveling exhibition. 

We are honored to be a part of their esteemed projects and service their interior styling requirements.

They also went on to achieve a specialisation in Advanced Professional Studies from Harvard University — an indication of looking beyond design to ensure its success. They claim that a financial and business approach to projects is the need of the hour to compete in a global market.

They Believe magic happens when innovation, sustainability & creativity meets diligence & dedication. The Duo has received over 97 National, International and State awards for architecture and interiors and credits their success to an open-minded attitude towards design.
