My travels across India and the world have exposed me to rich cultural histories – traditional ways of building with stone and local handcraft techniques. The creation of the Fasetto was prompted by one such visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. The mausoleum’s vaulted ceiling, which is adorned by a series of engraved geometric patterns, left me in awe.

The Kona explores the potential of natural stone. It is created through a unique process that combines the accuracy of digital fabrication with the humanism of hand craftsmanship. Derived from the Sanskrit word for ‘angle,’ the Kona is a celebration of geometric abstractions.

My personal travels have often inspired my professional work. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Sipadan, an island located in the Celebes Sea off the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia. The island has a rich geological history that spans thousands of years: it is formed by living corals growing atop an extinct volcanic cone.

The past few weeks have passed by in a blur. The first half of March was spent conceptualizing Anoma’s debut exhibit at the prestigious Architectural Digest Design Show in New York City. As the month wore on and deadlines approached, our studio in Noida, India, was a scene of frenzied activity.

I have been scuba diving since I was 16 and have been fascinated by the life under the sea. This was the fount of inspiration for the aqueous collection. The collection came into inception after I visited Sipadan in Malaysia.

When I look back at the rollercoaster of a journey I’ve had in these past few years, certain key moments stand out – those of personal triumphs, professional accomplishments, and challenges overcome. One of these moments that I seldom go back to is the commission we received for creating an art installation by the side of a plunge pool.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in awe of the tremendous beauty that nature holds. I was fourteen when I first started travelling with my father, a stone block trader at the time, to quarries and rock formations outside the city. It was on these little excursions that I fell in love with nature.
