ABOUT
About Us
We choreograph spaces that are as thoughtful as they are striking. At Studio RCI, we believe exceptional design is created at the intersection of storytelling, functionality and craftsmanship. Every project begins with a deep understanding of how people experience a space, resulting in interiors that are both beautiful and purposeful.
Studio RCI specializes in hospitality interior design, creating distinctive restaurants, cafés and bars across India. Our expertise also extends to bespoke luxury residential interiors and commercial spaces, bringing the same level of creativity, technical precision and attention to detail to every project.
Our approach is holistic. From concept development and space planning to construction, procurement and final styling, we guide every stage of the design journey. We work closely with architects, consultants, contractors and specialist vendors to ensure seamless execution while carefully curating furniture, lighting, materials, accessories, artwork, tableware and every finishing touch that completes the space.
Beyond interiors, we collaborate with trusted branding and graphic design professionals whenever required to integrate interiors with brand identity, signage, packaging and guest touchpoints, creating a cohesive experience from first impression to final interaction.
Transparency is at the heart of our practice. We do not accept commissions or vendor kickbacks and every recommendation is made solely in the best interest of our clients. Any trade discounts are passed directly to them, ensuring complete trust, clarity and value throughout the project.
