MAIA Design Studio is an Interior Architecture & Design firm, founded by Shruti Jaipuria in 2011. At MAIA we believe in creating spaces that tell a story, serve a function and offer an ‘experience’. They draw inspiration from the world around them, constantly questioning what we see and how it can be applied to the world of contemporary design. Nature, spirituality, mathematics, geometry, materials, texture, colour all provide them with an endless source of inspiration.
They start by questioning the function of spaces, understanding its context, and their client’s vision. The process of space curation then begins, allowing them to control how spaces unfold into one another, how people interact with the spaces, what visual language the spaces assume, and how the spaces feel.
This is controlled experiential design, a process integral to their work at MAIA. They are also sensitive to the revival of traditional arts and crafts and aspire to practice sustainable design. They aim to push the boundaries of design, and expand the possibilities of what can be done, and what has been done. Their designs are fresh, timeless and continuously evolving.
