Neha A. Sureka

Neha A. Sureka's Bangalore-based practice Simplécede crafts spaces that feel less designed than slowly grown into being. Her work embraces a philosophy where simple meets minimalist, creating homes that mirror their inhabitants' stories. In Vasudhalayah—named after the Sanskrit word for earth—she demonstrates her signature approach of weaving warm veneers with vibrant accent colors. Her recent duplex for a young couple showcases this ethos through recurring motifs of soft curves and subtle paneling, from the custom veneered-rattan TV unit that doubles as sculpture and storage to the dining nook's curved walls with built-in bench seating upholstered in bold tribal patterns. Each project reflects her ability to balance Indian ethnic charm with contemporary minimalism, creating timeless aesthetics that meet everyday practicality.
