Shailesh Rajput Studio
We are not a trend driven practice as the trends live short. Our philosophy is to create objects that have life and are not just lifeless products.
Shailesh Rajput Studio is a Mumbai-based product design brand dedicated to crafting exquisite, high-end lifestyle products inspired by the beauty of nature. Founded by the talented artist duo Shailesh and Mansi, the studio is driven by a passion for handcrafted excellence and a belief in the inherent value of artisanal craftsmanship. Committed to creating not just functional objects, but meaningful experiences that resonate with the emotional needs of individuals, every piece is infused with a sense of purpose, elevating everyday moments into extraordinary ones.
Shailesh Rajput Studio’s bespoke lighting installations, furniture pieces, sculptures, and wall murals are an exquisite ode to handcrafted Indian design. With a strong belief in the future of craftsmanship and personalization over mechanization, the Mumbai-based studio makes use of hand-blown glass, copper, and brass to actualize their designs. The studio's lead designer, Shailesh Rajput, seeks to add soul to everything he creates, so after graduating with a bachelor's degree in design, he traveled the country in search of inspiration, learning about various cultures and perspectives.
From the Taj Mahal to the dichotomy of nature, the studio’s designs see a myriad of influences. The ARMA-TER lights crafted in cast glass, brass, and rock crystal follow the basic principle of nature’s duality while the NATH Chandelier takes inspiration from traditional Maharashtrian jewellery. Bringing ancient Indian practices to the forefront with contemporary craft sensibilities, the YOG SURYA NAMASKAR Wall Clock features handcrafted hard clay figurines in the 12 yoga asanas. Shailesh Rajput Studio passionately advocates the merit and beauty of Indian craft, and promotes it through all their designs.
