Tanya Singh was born in Mumbai in 1983. She received a Degree in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design, USA, in 2005 following her foundation in Design at the Chelsea College of Art & Design, London.
Tanya Singh’s work crystallises around a strong sense of material, an obsession for detail and the study of light. Together, these form the bedrock and individuality of each project. Her spaces embrace timelessness. They possess a palpable energy created through the interplay of lines, compositions and the juxtaposition of old, new and unexpected objects. The spirit of each project is shaped by the traditional ethos of building architectural and physical study models by hand; a process inculcated during her education at RISD.
Tanya Singh has lived and worked in London, New York, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Paris, Milano and Mumbai. She revels in the contextual subtleties drawn from each journey, forging new relationships with artisans. These manifest in meaningful collaborations that influence her projects with a cross-cultural design sensibility and a strong emphasis on craftsmanship.
Following a series of independent and collaborative projects, she founded her design practice in 2016. The studio is based in Milano and Mumbai, with projects ranging in scale from furniture to commercial and residential spaces. She shuttles between the two cities, with regular diversions to discover the new.
