Malvika Vaswani

About the brand:
Based in the heart of Mumbai, Malvika Vaswani, is a new cross-disciplinary design house, creating products across categories, bound by a singular philosophy. The brand is the meeting point of design, craft and process, resulting in holistic approachable design. Inspired by the tenants of the internationalist movement, the studio creates for each unique instance, each individual user. The design of tomorrow realizes that products aren’t temporary, but long lasting and intrinsically valuable. We believe in honoring the qualities of materials, letting them take appropriate form and function to create beautiful designed products.

About the Designer:
Malvika is a designer and maker, trained in process based industrial design. She began her design journey at the Rhode Island School of Design, and started her professional life in New York City balancing designing jewelry for BCBGeneration and home ware for Teroforma. Since returning to India in late 2011, she has worked with both Pinakin Patel and Rooshad Shroff. Her cross continental design journey led to the creation of Aunterra - an award winning experimental brand
created to test the boundaries of design in India.
At heart Malvika is a designer-maker, on a journey to understand and create for our indigenous modernity. She believes that good design lies in the intrinsic qualities of the product, form and aesthetic. For her each piece is a commitment of craft, quality and ethical design. Built through a rigorous and thoughtful process anchored in experimentation.
