India Mahdavi

India Mahdavi is an architect, designer and scenographer who lives and works in Paris, where she founded her studio in 2000. The practice is deliberately interdisciplinary, moving between architecture, interior design, scenography and the design of furniture and objects, and has built a body of international projects each conceived as a distinct environment.

Over two decades she has turned Rue Las Cases into an ecosystem: first the studio, then a furniture showroom and later a shop devoted to small objects, followed in 2020 by the Project Room on Rue de Bellechasse, a space for sets, collaborations and events. A polyglot and a lover of colour, she pursues a cosmopolitan idea of comfort and elegance with a touch of humour, working with ceramic, woodworking, embroidery, marquetry, rattan, tapestry, textile, glass and weaving.
