And Black Design Studio Uncovered

Ahmedabad-based and black design studio loves minimalist but sturdy styles with an edge. Be it a cramped office space or a luxurious home, the team is capable of infusing a distinct character not just to the entire project but to every section within the project as well.

Kanika and Jwalant Mahadevwala lead the way and help feed a reliance on physical modelling and use of parametric tools to realise interiors, architectural projects, installations and furniture pieces that are memorably beautiful and innovative.

The preferred layout scheme is fluid, with the outside never too much of a shut-off element. “We tend to use materials like metal, wood, bamboo, paper, etc., in ways that haven’t been explored generally in the larger context of design in India,” adds the team. The following three projects can testify to that principle.

Modern offices tend to invest in individuality nowadays. It is not enough to be utilitarian, and it is so yesteryear to be recklessly thematic. Today’s workspaces do not shy away from eccentricity or fluidity, and encourage their occupiers to be freethinkers. The Abhishek Goyal Office is no exception. The and black team was clear about the minimalist template to be put to use here; it had to aid the inside-outside scheme well, too.

“Sophisticated, inspiring and contemporary were the adjectives we were after while designing this office,” states the team. This translated into a breathy expanse of carefully divided spaces that are dominated by bright polished wood and beautiful pattern breakers.
