Essence of Art

Essence of Art is a Mumbai-based design practice that creates spaces where Indian cultural memory lives without nostalgia. Their work, The Canvas Home — widely recognised for its hand-carved wood surfaces, woven cane, and aged brass — reflects a design philosophy that treats heritage as something to be lived rather than displayed. By abstracting folk art traditions and indigenous craft into contemporary spatial language, the studio crafts interiors that are warm, tactile, and timelessly Indian.
